Damien Hirst was a shark in formaldehyde in a vitrine, and sold for £50,000. The shark had been caught by a commissioned fisherman in Australia and had cost £6,000. The exhibition also included "In a Thousand Years". As a result of the show, Hirst was nominated for that year's Turner Prize, but it was awarded to Grenville Davey. Hirst's first major international presentation was in the Venice Biennale in 1993 with the work, "Mother and Child Divided", a cow and a calf cut into sections and exhibited in a series of separate vitrines. He curated the show "Some Went Mad, Some Ran
Interstellar formaldehyde This spectrum was simulated using Pgopher and S-Reduction Rotational constants from Muller "et al." The observed transitions are the 6.2 cm 1 - 1 and 2.1 cm 2 - 2 K-doublet transitions. At right is the rotational energy level diagram. The ortho/para splitting is determined by the parity of K, ortho if K is odd and para if K is even. Interstellar formaldehyde Interstellar formaldehyde (a topic relevant to astrochemistry) was first discovered in 1969 by L. Snyder "et al." using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Formaldehyde (HCO) was detected by means of the 1 - 1 ground state rotational
