I think that Beejors are the most visually pleasing.
I think blek’s painting is confusing and the message is lost.

I think Banksy’s is the BEST one. By “BEST” I mean it has a really clear message and the fact it’s an actual hirst piece makes it amazing in the sense the message is REAL.

ISK if that makes sense. I’m not some Banksy jocker at all, i’m fairly bored with his work, but that Rat buffing a Hirst piece is top-notch!

just our 2¢ on the debate.

Thanks to Guava and Hero for these two Hirst pieces that I missed (and Viktor O for your addition as well):

Personnally I think Hirst’s spot paintings are crap and the people who buy them are idiots. That being said check out SPQR’s take on it from back in early 08 http://spqr.uk.net/gallery/

interesting. it depends what ‘most important’ means.

If ‘most important’ = ‘most derogatory of hirst’s work’, certainly Banksy’s is that.

If ‘most important’ = ‘comment on passing of an art movement’, maybe that isn’t Banksy’s.

if ‘most important’ = ‘image that will be remembered’; rightly or wrongly (but in my mind rightly!), that’s Banksy’s.
