Over the course of this semester we viewed many different pieces of art by a lot of unique artists. Many of these artists were eccentric and produced art that I typically would overlook. My favorite piece was "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" by Damien Hirst. Although I only like selected works from his collection, this one is my overall favorite. This piece features a Tiger Shark preserved in formaldehyde in a vitrine. It is currently located in Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This is my favorite artwork because I have never seen anything like it before. The shark gives the impression that it is living and is even a little threatening. If I was ever to see this in real life I would probably be a little intimidated by the massive size of this animal.
