Specialist note

‘This is the fucking point- The thing is they’re fucking gorgeous; they’re fucking delicious; they don’t keep still, they’ll live for ever. They’re absolutely fantastic. They’re colour. They’re as good as flowers, and they’re just fucking paintings’
(D. Hirst, quoted in D. Hirst & G. Burn, On the Way to Work, London 2001, p. 90).
