Damien Hirst’s ‘Partner in Crime’

The collaboration between Damien Hirst and his business manager Frank Dunphy is one of the most extraordinary art world stories of our times. In the latest episode of our collector profile series A Life Less Ordinary Presented by Hennessy Paradis Imperial, Frank and his wife Lorna recount how they met Damien, relive crazy antics at London’s Groucho Club and reflect on their love of contemporary art. The collection will be offered in our upcoming sale Yellow Ball: The Frank and Lorna Dunphy Collection (20 September | London).

What ever one may think about Damien Hirst and his art, whether you love his work or not,there is another aspect that one should bear in mind, and that is through his work as an artist, and with the support from Frank, they have provided employment and a living to hundreds of artisans,and trades people and their respective families for near on thirty years. And that of itself is quite an achievment for one man, and Frank !

@@lambda113 I have known of this for over twenty years. The fact is Hirst had made a better job of those concepts than many of the original artists had managed to achieve. Having said that, I can sympathise with John Leaky and others for feeling upset. Anyhow,thanks for sharing the link !
