Will Saatchi Sell His Shark?

Collector Charles Saatchi is mulling a £6.25 million offer for the massive tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde which he commissioned from artist Damien Hirst in 1991 for £50,000. The shark, one of the early works of the movement known as BritArt, “propelled Hirst to fame after it was first shown in 1992.”
