If he had just kept this private and done it as a silly act of devotion to his wife, instead for weird crypto-fascist Rome-worshipping dweeb reasons, this would have been the first semi-cool thing he’s ever done.

The sculpture is by Daniel Arsham, a New York-based sculptor who makes everything from giant Pokemon cards to NFTs of Porsches. His work has been featured at some of the most acclaimed museums and galleries in the world. (Last month, he was also accused of violating federal law for firing an employee who supported a workers union, according to a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board. But that’s another story.)

Ah yes, another “artist” who hires impoverished artists to do all of the actual work, paying them a pittance if at all while taking all of the credit and profits. A tale as old as time, unfortunately

I love my wife, and now you know.

Personally, the Hellenistic style is my favorite, and I think the statue is beautiful. It shows a woman as powerful and strong, yet delicate, as she gently alights on the ground.

The Hellenistic style is beautiful because their ability to depict fabric draped over the human body was second to none, literally fucking incredible, I can not describe how incredible it is to get a sense of how you can make the feeling of ultra thin see-through fabrics in a STATUE.

This monstrosity on the other hand makes her look like she's wearing a curtain rather than a lightweight piece of fabric. It's terrible to compare it to the Hellenistic style. It's so bad it looks like water instead of fabric.

The only reason I can come up with for doing it this way is prudishness. He or the artist was afraid of the nudity that the ultra-thin fabrics style depict. She looks thoroughly covered up compared to the Hellenistic greats. Even the ones that were largely covering up the woman depicted were less prudish than this, look at how the fabric wraps her leg:

perfectly captured her cold, dead-eyed stare and general aura of contempt

She still completed medical school despite marrying Smaug the dragon.

Some literal fucking who? What, has Hirst finally fallen out of style with the über wealthy?

The billionaire equivalent of a Funko Pop just dropped

Get a tattoo like a normal person.

It looks awful

His one redeeming feature of being a wife guy.
