Saatchi shark sold for six million

The Damien Hirst shark in formaldehyde is reported as being sold to a mystery US buyer for 6.2m pounds in a deal to be finalised early in the new year.
Charles Saatchi paid 50,000 pounds to Hirst for the work called "The Physical Impossibility Of Death In The Mind Of Someone Living" who used a shark bought in Australia 14 years ago.
It was then shown a year later in the "Young British Artists" exhibition and caused interest and controversy.
