Hirst sale nets a record $200.7 million

LONDON: It was as if Sotheby's here was a little oasis far removed from the grim news of the financial world. In less than 24 hours, giant tanks of dead sharks, zebras and piglets submerged in formaldehyde; glass cabinets filled with medical supplies, cigarette butts or diamonds; paintings and drawings of everything from dots to skulls - 223 works all by the British artist Damien Hirst - were snapped up at a brisk clip by collectors from all parts of the globe.
