I first saw Damien Hirst's work at the Brooklyn Art Museum in an exhibit that Rudy Giuliani tried to shut down. I still have the "Danger:Art" magnet promoting the show on the refrigerator. Hirst's piece in that show was a dead cow displayed in slices. The exhibit also included Chris Ofili's madonna decorated with dung, a work that was defaced by an offended spectator.
