Who Let the Dots Out?

As you all probably know how much I love, adore, and respect the work of Damien Hirst (pass the sick bucket), it is my pleasure to state that his entire spot painting collection(sssssssssssss) from 1986-2011 are being featured at the 11 Gagosian galleries around the world. (For 25 years the man has been spotting around).

To make the already interesting viewing even more exciting, if you make it to all 11 galleries within the span of Jan 12-Feb 18, you could be the proud owner of your very own completely unoriginal spot painting. Additionally, it will be signed by the artist who didn't even create the painting, but rather one of his assistants! (GASPING FOR AIR!)

So little time, soooooooooooo many dots! But don't worry... 3 out of the 11 galleries are in New York (two of which are 3 blocks apart... hmmm, someone didn't take urban planning courses!) Yet be prepared to fly out to Hong Kong, Athens, and Geneva, to name a few. It's so worth it though.... You could be in Rome looking at the artistic gems of Hirst whilst passing on Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. I mean, there's certainly a more religious, transcendental experience gazing into the hypnotic dots than anything the Renaissance masters had to offer.

I'll make you see the light via identical circles in different colors. I am a prophet. 

I'll leave you all with a thought. Which came first? The Gagosian or the Hirst? Whose brilliant idea was it to have the "Complete Spot Challenge?" The businessman or the businessman (aka artist)? Either way, being subjected to owning a spot painting after stalking the spots in 3 different continents is certainly no reward.
