Damien Hirst offers artwork for best Instagram caption

Damien Hirst launched a contest on Instagram on June 26, 2018, offering a unique print of his veil painting 'Andromeda' to the follower who writes the best caption for a photo of himself in fuchsia Calvin Klein boxers, matching socks, and personalized Crocs. The post garnered 28,700 likes and nearly 4,500 comments within days, with entries ranging from humorous to critical. Hirst, who has over 420,000 followers, began personally managing his Instagram account in January 2018, using it as a personal diary. He also used the platform to announce 'The Unknown', a bar he designed at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas featuring his 1999 shark installation.
