UPDATE: Damien Hirst's Auction

Hirst' Sale of the "The Kingdom" (A Tiger Shark suspended in Formaldehyde) sold for £9.5m. Sotheby's had estimated the work at between £4-6m. The price tag certainly reflects The Kingdom's similarities with one of Hirst's most famous pieces - The Physical Impossibility Of Death In The Mind Of Someone Living.
