Throughout his oeuvre he has again challenged and blurred the lines between art, science, life, and most recently institutions. Like Rauschenberg and Kaprow did. But eventually like these artists, I think Hirst's time in the spotlight is waning, his art is becoming less involved and about these facets (or they are getting stale) and he is making a desperate attempt to go after anyone he thinks is a threat. But a 17 year old? Hirst never seemed like a "nice guy," but now he is just a jerk. First of all let me say that I am fan of Hirst.
