Damien Hirst

"I never let money get in the way of an idea."

British,  b. 1965

Damien Hirst, the enfant terrible of British art, was born in Bristol, England in 1965. His early life wasn't steeped in art, but a formative experience working in a mortuary undoubtedly left a mark. This fascination with death and mortality would become a recurring theme in his work.

Hirst attended Goldsmiths College in London, a breeding ground for Young British Artists (YBAs) who challenged the art establishment. Here, he honed his shocking and often controversial conceptual art. His most famous series, "Natural History," showcased preserved animals in formaldehyde, suspended in vitrines. From a dissected shark to a pickled cow, these works confronted viewers with the stark realities of life and death.

He used dot paintings, spin paintings created by machines, and even encrusted a human skull with diamonds (later sold for a reported £50 million). His works sparked debates about art, value, and the ethics of using animal remains.

Love him or hate him, Hirst's impact on the art world is undeniable.
