Oh, what's the point?
There is no justice in the world when Tracey Emin makes enough money to qualify for the UK's top tax rate.
Tracey Emin - whose most famous work is arguably My Bed, which was pretty much her bed and associated detritus - stained sheets, used condoms, underwear stained with menstrual fluids (yes, really) as well as more workaday items such as slippers - earns more than 150,000 pounds a year. That's atleast 248,000 Canadian Dollars or 873,000 UAE Dirhams per year.
Don't even get me started on Damien Hirst.

Apparently, a couple of performance artists got on the bed and had a pillow fight at some point during its public display.
Last year, I made a trip to the Andamans and visited the aquarium at Port Blair. It was spread over two rooms, one of which had a few desultory live displays, while the other was filled with jar upon jar of dead fish in formaldehyde. The jars were of a standard size, so if the fish was too big they just folded it up and stuffed it in. Now that I think of it, maybe Damien Hirst's name was on a board somewhere in that room and I just didn't realize that I was visiting an art gallery.

Ssshhh! You're giving Hirst ideas!
Next he'll do a diamond encrusted fish in formaldehyde, or something else equally loathesome and incomprehensible.
