Making good use of their eight minute photo session, photographer David Bailey works up a new book featuring spontaneous poses by British bad boy artist Damien Hirst. The book, simply titled 8 Minutes: Hirst & Bailey, boasts 130 photographs without any text or even a title page in the mixed, just balls-to-the-wall good times. Retailing for $68 USD, 8 Minutes: Hirst & Bailey can be purchased directly through Steidl.

    Anybody who thinks this is art or has any artistic merit whatsoever wants to seriously get a grip on reality. Anyone who pays money for it is either incredibly naive or they must enjoy being laughed at and duped.

    Bailey and Hirst are mates. 8 minutes pulling faces and arsing around in front of your friends camera just because you are both famous does not mean it is art. It is actually quite insulting and a bit of a micky-take by them to see if they can make some money out of this sham. Then again, they would probably claim that comments like mine mean that it does qualify as art due to it’s provocative nature. Ho ho ho aren’t you so clever.

    I’d love to shoot Damien Hirst but I wouldn’t use a camera. I’d then put him in a tank of formadelhyde and put him on display.

    “What you see is what you get”. Exactly. I see an overpriced pile of garbage.

    why are y’all complaining…. don’t you know fine art is the exact same as all other forms of art: once you get famous, you can sell anything. Just ask 50 cent….
