A revealing collection of quotations from world-renowned artist Damien Hirst Hirst-isms is a collection of quotations—bold, surprising, often humorous, and always insightful—from celebrated artist Damien Hirst, whose controversial work explores the connections between art, religion, science, life, and death. Emerging in the 1990s as a leading member of the Young British Artists (YBAs), Hirst first became famous and gained a reputation as a provocateur with a series of artworks featuring dead and sometimes dissected animals (including a shark, sheep, and cow) preserved in glass tanks filled with formaldehyde. Gathered from interviews and other primary sources and organized by subject, these quotations explore Hirst’s early years, family life, and the beginnings of his fascination with art; the major themes of his work; his influences and heroes; his motivation; his process and the boundary-pushing production of his work; and his thoughts on the art world, fame, and money. The result is a comprehensive and nuanced book that sheds new light on a fascinating and important contemporary artist. Select quotations from the book: “The less I feel like an artist, the better I feel.”“I like it when people love my art. I like it when people hate my art. I just don’t want them to ignore my art.”“Painting’s like the most fabulous illusion, because there’s nothing at stake. Except yourself.”“I’m interested in the confusion between art and life, I like it when the world gets in the way.”“Sometimes you have to step over the edge to know where it is.”

Incandescent and celebratory paintings of cherry blossoms from Damien Hirst, in a glorious oversize volume With 107 new works, Cherry Blossoms marks a new chapter in Damien Hirst's career-long exploration of the physical relationship between artist and canvas that began with his Spot Paintings in 1986. Hirst describes his cherry blossoms as garish and messy and fragile"; the series signals a shift in Hirst's career away from minimalism and "the imagined mechanical painter" toward a painting that delights in the potential haphazardness of the medium, as well as the artist's own fallibility as a creator. Rich in color and striking in number, Hirst's Cherry Blossoms are both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Damien Hirst (born 1965) rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of the Young British Artists, garnering attention for his controversial site-specific pieces. A 1989 graduate of Goldsmiths College, Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995. Now one of the contemporary art world's most famous figures, Hirst continues to surprise audiences with a staggering diversity of work, ranging from sculpture and painting to installation and performance art. In 2012, a retrospective of his nearly 30-year career was staged at Tate Modern. Hirst is represented by Gagosian.

Damien Hirst is one of those contemporary artists whose works of art, personality, and public statements create a great amount of controversy. Despite the controversy (and perhaps because of it), Hirst is one of Britain’s most famous contemporary artists. He is regarded as one of the leading members of the Young British Artists, a term used by the art world to identify a loose group of British visual artists who exhibited together and created a splash in the art scene in the 1980s to 1990s. Hirst is also one of Britain’s most commercially successful artists. With a fortune of around £215 million, a starving artist he is most certainly not. What kind of art does he turn out to be so in demand with art collectors around the world? Many of his most famous works revolve around the theme of death. They include a tiger shark suspended and preserved in formaldehyde inside a glass display case (The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, 1991), a life-sized recreation of a pharmacy (Pharmacy, 1992), a platinum human skull covered in 8,601 diamonds (For the Love of God, 2007), and a bull in formaldehyde, whose hooves and horns were cast in 18-carat gold (The Golden Calf, 2008).

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK She accompanied him to slaughterhouses and maggot farms for his art. “I was pretty much head over heels in love, so I leapt at any chance to spend time with Damien. We are well suited in that we share morbid curiosities,” Norman told Wmagazine.com in 2009. While Hirst’s star was on the rise when they met, he was still struggling to make his name in the art world. He slept on a mattress on the floor of a rented room in public housing. When they first lived together, Norman would get their furniture from the trash and clip coupons. Over the years, as Hirst’s became famous, Norman accompanied him to the many fashionable parties that he frequented. They now have two have three sons together: Connor, 16, Cassius, 11, and Cyrus, six. Hirst and Norman, whom he calls his common-law wife, never married. The family has lived in a large farm estate on the north Devon coast since moving back to Britain from Germany in 1996. Norman is now a successful businesswoman in her own right, with a successful ready-to-wear label and collection, Mother of Pearl... Buy a copy to keep reading!

This book is a creative guide to the making of arguably the most extraordinary art object to be made in the 21st century. Published to accompany the 2007 exhibition Damien Hirst: Beyond Belief at White Cube, London, it gives a fascinating pictorial insight into how Hirst's diamond skull piece "For the Love of God" was conceived and produced. Illustrated with candid behind-the-scenes photographs by Johnnie Shand Kydd, the book includes a number of preparatory drawings by Damien Hirst and a fold out image of the diamond skull. Accompanying this is an essay by the art historian Rudi Fuchs, who writes: "The skull is out of this world, celestial almost. I tend to see it as a glorious intense victory over death." A number of leading experts in the fields of archaeology and dentistry have also contributed detailed studies on the diamond skull, including analyses of its age and ancestry.
