Damien Hirst has been accused of plagiarism concerning his iconic work, A Thousand Years, which allegedly resembles Hamad Butt's Fly-Piece. Hirst created his piece shortly after Butt's work, which featured live flies in a display case. Butt was an artist who struggled with identity issues and died young, leaving behind a legacy that hasn't been widely recognized. Hirst has acknowledged his practice of appropriating ideas from other artists, reflecting a broader trend in the art world related to originality and creation.
