The best book on Damien Hirst: amzn.to/3tjTMQq
A chopped-up shark, a split open pig on movable rails, a decapitated cow, and a calf with six limbs. Since March 9 of 2022, more than twenty iconic examples of Damien Hirst’s groundbreaking and notorious formaldehyde sculptures are showcased at Gagosian’s Brittania Street gallery, dating from 1991 to 2021. But how well do these ‘vintage Damien Hirst’ works stand the test of time – not only from a conservation point of view, but also art historically?
