One of my favorite pieces by Damien Hirst went up for auction at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Day Sale in London yesterday.  Someone got it at a steal for just $229,250.  It’s named Loathing and is made up of dead flies and resin.  I couldn’t find a great detail picture but in real life the depth and texture you get from even far away is so subtle you can’t help but be attracted to it.  As you approach, you realize you are being entranced by dead flies but it makes it more attractive(at least to me).  My favorite thing about Damien Hirst is that he can use anything as a medium and make it the most intoxicating thing you have ever seen.
