Damien Hirst, “The Complete Spot Paintings 1986–2011”

Don't rub your eyes! You are actually seeing spots. As a warm-up to this spring's Damien Hirst career retrospective at the Tate Modern in London, Gagosian Gallery is devoting all of its locations worldwide—including its three New York spaces, uptown and down—to a comprehensive survey of the ur-YBA's paintings of polka dots. Hirst himself has allowed that he painted only about five of the 300 or so compositions in the series, leaving the rest to assistants whose efforts he deemed superior to his own. Still, they are worth a lot of money, so maybe it's dollar signs you're really seeing.
