"The theme of this artwork is refered to the name of the fourth famous Musketeer "d'Artagnan". The reference to the "dart and onion" is that when these words are pronunced they sound like d'Artagnan."


"The Onion in the picture displayed is not the original onion. Since 2002 the original onion has rotten."

"What does Damien Hirst have in common with onion and garlic soup and mountains? Onions of course, onions! Two thousand to be precise.""
