Tent. Londen, Tate Modern, 04-04-2012, 09-09-2012. - Monografie toont een overzicht van het 25-jarige kunstenaarsschap van de Brit Art kunstenaar Damien Hirst (Bristol 1965). - Damien Hirst once the enfant terrible of the so-called Young British Artists, is one of the most controversial and certainly the most famous artist of his generation. His wide-ranging practice, which includes installation, painting, sculpture, and drawing, challenges the boundaries between art, science, and popular culture. Published to accompany the major retrospective of Hirst's work on view at Tate Modern from April to September 2012, this book surveys 25 years of the artist's practice, from sharks in formaldehyde to spot paintings to the medicine cabinets to diamond-encrusted skulls, making a major contribution to our understanding and appreciation of one of the most significant artists of our time
