Damien Hirst fish for Vision 21 auction
Published March 17th, 2008
A Damien Hirst fish in formaldehyde, which the artist gifted to a friendly fish and chip shop owner in Leeds, is to be sold by auctioneers Bonhams in London this October at the company’s Vision 21 Sale.
Rather more modest in size than Hirst’s famous shark, the blunt nosed fish, believed to be a denizen of tropical seas, known as a Trevelly, is typical of Hirst’s early work. The work still has its Jay Jopling White Cube Gallery crate. Bonhams estimate that the fish will attract bids of £100,000 to £150,000 when it is auctioned.
