A similar image of President Bush also forms part of the exhibition, reports The Associated Press.
A gallery spokeswoman said the Hilton portrait is titled “Paris, 2008″ and posters of it will be sold for $20 (£10.80) each.
Yeo is offering the star proceeds from the sale of the posters because she never received any money from the notorious 2004 sex video that starred her and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, the spokeswoman said.
When trying to capture their subject, an artist is faced with the task of trying to find the medium that will best convey the vision the artist is trying to express. Hell, I couldn’t think of a better way to get at the very essence of what Paris is about: sticky pages from porn mags! The only way it could get any better would be to have a frame made out of unused condoms (because you know she doesn’t bother with those) and the packaging from Valtrex. What do you think Yeo used as glue? You decide.

I find nothing objectionable or unpleasant in Paris Hilton at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
I think she's great. I find vague indifference charming.
I am far from thinking she's great (who is "she" anyway?), but from a certain perspective, her exquisite ability to unabashedly (and non-nonchalantly) fulfill her role in society is nice.
I really like this piece regardless and I think it's awesome that Hirst bought it before the opening.
Lets be honest, she's not only exhibited unapologetic indifference, shes marketed it successfully! (Without trying of course)
