Question:

How did British artists Tracy Emin and Damien Hurst become so successful and earn millions?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

They were lucky enough to be spotted at their Final Degree show by Charles Saatchi ( of Saatchi and Saatchi Art gallery, and The Saatchi Gallery fame).
He was looking for something new and controversial for his collection.
Being at College in London helped- and as with all Fine Artists having extreme confidence in their work and the ability to explain the concept behind it at length and convince other people of it's worth.
