长难句：
The longest bull（牛市）run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic（戏剧性的）note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby's in London on September 15th 2008.
But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous（膨胀的） egos（自我...）,greed, passion and controversy（争议） in a way matched by few other industries.
