New Investigation States Damien Hirst Has Been Misdating His Formaldehyde Animal Sculptures
Damien Hirst is currently exhibiting one of his largest shows to date at a centuries old vineyard-exhibition space in the South of France. On view are a number of new and celebrated works, such as his series of encased animals in formaldehyde. The first work in the latter series was dubbed "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living", and made in the 1990s, during the British artist's ascent as he'd win the Turner Prize in 1995. A new investigation by the Guardian, however, reports that several formaldehyde sculptures dated to that period were allegedly created in 2017.

2024 Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato: Where Does It Really Belong?
'Mad Max of Newport Beach.''Bruce Wayne on a Camping Holiday.'These were the comparisons that ran through our head the moment we saw the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato pull up to our SoCal address for review. Its matte green exterior was quite striking even on a dreary Friday morning as we watched the car slowly roll off the delivery trailer. When we got closer to the car, the above analogies hit even harder as we started hearing the stronger exhaust tones up close, all the while noticing the details that make the Sterrato "off-road." We were getting excited.However – as we went over the loan agreement, we couldn't help but notice the bold, yellow highlighted text that was quite literally at the top of the document: "THIS VEHICLE MUST NOT BE DRIVEN OFF-ROAD." After a few seconds of head-scra...
