Early Hirst: iconic paintings and sculptures from the first two decades of the YBA protagonist's career
This volume collects all works featured in End of a Century, a major exhibition of some of Damien Hirst’s (born 1965) early pieces from the 1980s and 1990s held at Newport Street Gallery, London. A selection of sketches and preparatory drawings accompany full-color reproductions of the exhibited paintings and sculptures, offering insight into the development of some of the artist’s most iconic series. Also included is an original text—part essay, part short story—by writer Harry Thorne, and a number of quotes by Hirst himself on the subjects that have preoccupied him throughout his career: science, religion, life and death.
