How much is Damien Hirst’s shark worth?
1 Answer

How much Damien Hirst’s shark is worth today is unknown. However, in 2005, it sold for somewhere between $8 and $12 million. Called The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, the piece was a shark preserved in formaldehyde. In 2006, the original shark was replaced with a new specimen because it had begun to deteriorate. Its owner, Steven A. Cohen, lent the piece to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it was displayed from 2007 to 2010. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Damien Hirst art.
