Damien Hirst

The book features a comprehensive review of Damien Hirst's artistic evolution over two decades, highlighted by a retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern in 2012. It delves into his provocative works, including the animal vitrines, butterfly composites, and the iconic spot paintings, while examining the underlying themes of coded systems in daily life. Rarely shown pieces like One Thousand Years and For The Love of God are also discussed. Contributions from notable art critics enrich the exploration of Hirst's impact on contemporary art.
