So Robert Hughes thinks Damien Hirst's work is absurd and nothing
more than clever marketing. That tells us more about Mr Hughes's
preoccupation with his own position in the fickle world of fame than
anything else, timed as it was to promote a television programme
he's authored.
Curmudgeonly and intellectually pompous, Robert Hughes has
increasingly seemed to me like a critic who's reached his sell-by
date, who deeply resents being gradually sidelined. Sure, he made a
ground-breaking television series, The Shock of the New, several
decades ago, but all he seems to have done in the intervening years
