Out of the many artists alive today many people can only name a few: Banksy, maybe Lucien Freud and of course Damien Hirst.He became the most expensive living artist with the sale of a medicine chest, Lullaby Spring, for £9.65 million at Sotheby's in London in June 2007. Death is a central theme in his work. He is best known for his Butcher shop series, in which dead animals (such as a shark, a sheep or a cow) are preserved, sometimes cut-up, in formaldehyde. With Hirst being such a worldwide art phenomena its no surprise that he'd end up some where in CT. The Bruce Museum in Greenwich is having a show on contemporary art that are part of Greenwich native's private art collections. This is your chance to see a piece by Damien Hirst in Connecticut.
