In September 2008, Damien Hirst sold a complete show ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’ at Sotheby’s by auction and by-passing his galleries he works with. The auction raised £ 111 million ($198 million), breaking Hirst’s own record with £ 10.3 million for The Golden Calf, an animal with 18-carat gold horns and hooves, preserved in formaldehyde. Nowadays, and already for years, he owns Other Criteria a commercial company publishing prints, editions and books by himself in the first place and established artists.
