Who are  Pollocks
heirs? Not many, I think. Damien Hirst for one, possibly. Any  others?

Roger, Not so sure about that. Pollock first and foremost was a painter. He  
may have pushed painting into a new aesthetic range, but he was still tied  to 
the basic concept of creating an effect with paint (and some other  odd 
things like cigarette butts that happened to drop into the medium) on a  planar 
space. Hirst is more a conceptualist; an artist one could say whose  aesthetic is 
about 'messing with' our aesthetic notions and  sensibilities. Hirst is 
aggressively altering the realm of  aethestics.
