World's Most Expensive Living Artist Turns Jeans Designer
I never know quite what to make of artist Damien Hirst, is he a brilliant commentator on modern life or merely a shameless huckster? Hirst, who recently became the most expensive living artist, delights in controversy. Whether its exhibiting sharks and other animals in formaldehyde, creating a diamond-covered skull, or his many side businesses that include the sales of bracelets and art kits, Hirst is probably the heir to Andy Warhol in the realm of merging art and commerce. That comparison just got a bit more apt, Hirst is now going to be working with Levi-Strauss on a line of luxury jeans under the company's Warhol Factory X Levi's label. The collection will be launched in September during New York Fashion Week with the name Warhol Factory X Levi's X Damien Hirst. Items in the Warhol Factory X Levi collection generally sell for $190-$250 for jeans and $80-$300 for tops.

Blecch, Damien Hirst is proof that God does not exist. This man would sell his pave diamond encrusted colon polyps and call it art.

Really hate that guy. His works are so junky.
This guy is living proof that most people just don't understand art and therefore, will buy anything with a name attached.

This collection is going to be MAD WICKED!
I think when you are damien hirst - there is no such thing as selling out.
He's made it - King of his own universe.
All I have to say is that finally I will be able to get my hands on an actual Hirst piece!... I am THRILLED TO PIECES.
Cannot wait!
