- When I visited the Jeff Koons 'Now' show at Hirst's Newport Street Gallery, I was fascinated by the shop. The fact that Hirst owned Koons work and sold Koons and Hirst Merchandise in his gallery shop was so ironic to me.
- This contrast between the art and the merchandising of art, with Koons' Shiny Balloon Dogs for sale for hundreds of pounds, even the window was like a retail shop front.
