Damien Hirst smashed the record for an auction dedicated to a single artist, selling 54 new works on Monday for £ 70.55 million ($127 million) in a sale that underlined the resilience of the high-end art market. The British artist's The Golden Calf, a bull in a tank of formaldehyde with its head crowned by a gold disc, sold for £10.35 million, a record at auction for one of the contemporary art world's most bankable stars, Sotheby's said.
He was alleged for hurting public sentiments through his paintings.
