Art Painting in London

I chose to write this blog about an artist over in London who goes by the name of Damien Hirst, who at one point had his work netted at $200 million dollars. Early Monday, there was a report of someone stealing 33,000 pounds or $54,000.00 worth of his artwork paintings from a London art gallery. It was said that there was a witness who thought that they might have seen someone driving with the polka dot painting in there car. The article explains that whoever stole the paintings went thru and took the ones he/she wanted and left the "lesser of value" paintings behind. No one has been taken in to custody for stealing them as of today. The reason I did chose this article to write about is because I am an art major. I find art to be really interesting and I when I saw the article, it made me want to read it. Another reason I chose it was because in my eyes, there should never be someone who is able to steal a painting. Especially if it's worth a lot of money and in an art gallery, you'd think that people would be more on duty or they would at least have guards in the building watching over the gallery.
