Spot On

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Damien Hirst's spot paintings appear fairly frequently on the pages of shelter magazines, but <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/12/arts/design/damien-hirsts-spot-paintings-the-field-guide.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0">an article in the June 11, 2013 edition</a> of the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">New York Times</a> notes that the exact number of these works, which can cost as much as $3.4 million, has been unknown for some time. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/12/arts/design/damien-hirsts-spot-paintings-the-field-guide.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0">Journalist Graham Bowley writes</a> that "Mr. Hirst has said he painted the first few dozen. The others he left mainly to a coterie of assistants, who, it seemed, could make them ad infinitum." So how many spot paintings currently exist? Damien Hirst and his publisher, <a href="http://www.othercriteria.com/">Other Criteria</a>, will release a book in the fall that will catalog the 1,365 spot paintings they claim as authentic. Some critics decry the mass produced nature of the works, while Hirst owners, such as <a href="http://knoll.com/">Knoll</a> executive Andrew Cogan, don't mind the vast number of spot paintings in existence. According to Bowley's article, Cogan's painting "reminds him of the dot candy on paper sheets he used to enjoy as a child."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Too many spots, or legitimate candy-colored works of art? Take a look at some of Damien Hirst's work, including his butterflies, and decide for yourself . . .  </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQy7zs9rCWwOBgKaVjuJNFXKvFICj3HYRVwMna-51C_vNUUdR8XrNcOPbzgYXzOuY0ImcvVC_GD3MgOs6tR81gSF_AF_xDvvguBOFxxijV3-AGwJZBH_WqSD3PsRIY09Ve7Tpx8TVMbtM/s1600/item1.rendition.slideshowVertical.hosl02_wittelsAD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQy7zs9rCWwOBgKaVjuJNFXKvFICj3HYRVwMna-51C_vNUUdR8XrNcOPbzgYXzOuY0ImcvVC_GD3MgOs6tR81gSF_AF_xDvvguBOFxxijV3-AGwJZBH_WqSD3PsRIY09Ve7Tpx8TVMbtM/s640/item1.rendition.slideshowVertical.hosl02_wittelsAD.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Damien Hirst's 1997 acrylic 'Caesium Carbide 89' is the focal point of another part of the living room.
