(see Appropriation below). Hirst sold three more copies of his sculpture for similar
amounts to the first. In September 2000, in New York, Larry Gagosian held the Hirst
show, Damien Hirst: Models, Methods, Approaches, Assumptions, Results and Findings.
100,000 people visited the show in 12 weeks and all the work was sold.
9. January 2013, Damien Hirst became the third British artist to design the BRIT Awards statue
using his signature NEO-Pop art style inspired by his 2000 LSD spot painting.
