How have the art auctions been going lately?

I heard the Damien Hirst auction a few weeks ago did incredibly well. How have other auctions been doing?

Some of the reader comments are interesting, e.g., "This Damien Hirst circus has done a serious disservice to all young, emerging, mid-career artists, really all artists except for him and maybe Jeff Koons as they are really the only ones that can reel in market manipulatiors and trophy seekers at this level. Out of about 300 lots, only maybe 6 capture the essence of how great Hirst really WAS, before he became a master marketeer. . . ."
