The fabulously wealthy Pinchuk puts his money to a good cause bringing to us his pics from the last year’s top shows in London. The show called Reflections runs at Pinchuk Art Center till mid December. Everyone heard of Damian Hirst’s diamond scull sold for $100 mln - the highest priced work by living artist, Murakami’s psychedelic designs that made it on the Louis Vuitton bags. I recognized a few large-scale Gurskis that were on show at the White Cube several months ago. One of Anthony Gormley’s life-sized abstract self-portraits that decorated the Southbank yesterday is enjoying itself at the Bentley shop window - next to the gallery. There is the notorious Sam Taylor Wood, Jeff Coons, Mark Queen, and Richard Phillips. The few Ukrainian greats exhibited next the this get lost in comparison.

We particularly dug the white dove in formaldehyde by Hirst and Gormley’s glass room filled with fog. Apparently both of the artists were at the opening.
