Damien Hirst for Lance Armstrong

Claire Sullivan - Monday, July 13, 2009

 

 

Artist Damien Hirst has created a design that will appear on Lance Armstrong's bike as he heads into the final stretch of the Tour de France at the end of the month. Armstrong was "speechless" after seeing the design for the Trek Madone bicycle that Hirst, the Turner Prize-winning artist known for his displays of animals in formaldehyde, “put his touches on.” The artwork on the bike features Butterflies, one of Hirst's signature motifs.
