Well, I know its a bit late for 6/6/06 and all that! However couldn't miss this opportunity to photoblog the latest offering from:
Currently poking its head out of the Royal Academy forecourt in Piccadilly London.
Mr Hirst, who is now working on a skull encrusted with jewels he hopes to retail at £15M, brought us pickled fish and cattle and 'suffers' epithets such as 'bad boy of BritArt'.
So this is Madonna and child:
No! not that one the Mother of God you philistines!!
It's big, it's supposed to be bronze (however I've been told it isn't really?!), but isn't it a bit derivative? I mean we had the German doctor last year with his plastic peeled bodies and Channel 4 autopsy - remember all that? Isn't this taking strip-tease a bit too far?
Now tell me to climb back in my dungarees but don't you find this a bit exploitative of women, let alone the 'Blessed Virgin'???
My friends tell me the foetus is 'cute', I'm sorry but I don't remember the little holy pictures of the Baby Jesus including a gallon of amniotic fluid.
