This book was published on the occasion of ''Damien Hirst: Fact Paintings and Fact Sculptures'' at Gagosian, Britannia Street, London. Marking the first phase of Hirst?s yearlong takeover of the Britannia Street gallery, the exhibition featured rarely seen works by the artist created between 1993 and 2021.00Mimicking color photographs, the Fact Paintings are rendered in oil on canvas, sometimes with meticulous fidelity, at others reveling in the physicality of mark making. Their verisimilitude recalls the historical role of painting as a tool to represent the visible world and lead the viewer to believe that a two-dimensional image is, in fact, the three-dimensional object it portrays. In the Fact Sculptures, presented alongside the related paintings, Hirst moves beyond the readymade, instead constructing detailed replicas of real objects.00This publication features extensive reproductions of the forty-six exhibited works, as well as photographs of the installation. It also includes a new essay by Alice Godwin, which considers both the art historical context of the works as well as the new meaning they take on within contemporary life.00Exhibition: Gagosian, Britannia Street, London, UK (12.04.-24.05.2021).

White Cube was pleased to present nineteen new paintings by Damien Hirst. The exhibition was staged at White Cube Mason''s Yard and White Cube Hoxton Square. At White Cube Hoxton Square, Hirst presented a group of paintings, which included three triptychs from 2007-09, each depicting crows shot in mid-flight against blue skies, with outspread wings and violent splatters of red paint across their bodies. In the four triptychs on show in the lower ground floor at White Cube Mason''s Yard, these crows reappear, as omens of bad news. They often share the space with ghost-like figures, skeletal forms and objects, including chairs, lemons, knives, animal skulls, wine glasses or a scorpion.

Between 2006 and 2016, two of contemporary art''s biggest names--curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and artist, entrepreneur and art collector Damien Hirst (born 1965)--met to conduct a series of conversations. The two cover a wide variety of subjects in their ten years of conversations: the various mediums, methods and themes used by the artist; the gallery system and the ever-changing global art market; artists'' books; pop art; Richard Hamilton; money, commercialism and merchandise; life, death and immortality. Blunt and unapologetic, Hirst is an ideal interview subject, and Hirst Interviews allows the artist to speak his mind in his own voice.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Wallace Collection, London 14.10.2009 - 24.1.2010.

The visual candy paintings'' were made between 1992 and 1994. The works showcase the ways in which Damien Hirst used the signifier of candy during the early 1990’s, exploring questions of pure aesthetics. Addressing the viewer on a deliberately emotional and instinctive level, these works, abetted by their exuberant titles, among them Some Fun (1993) and Dippy Dappy Dabby (1993), set out to question the implication that aesthetically pleasing art is inherently insignificant.0.

This details all the Damien Hirst works in the Pinchuk Art Centre exhibition, Kyiv in April 2009.
