Unique Spin Painting from (In a Spin, the Action of the World on Things, Volume I), 2002
This work is a unique spin painting done on the cover of Damien Hirst's portfolio In a Spin, the Action of the World on Things, Volume I, 2002.
While the 23 etchings are from an edition of 68, each of the spin paintings are unique.
This series was published by The Paragon Press.
Since the mid-1990s, Damien Hirst has explored abstraction by pouring paint onto rotating canvases attached to a spin machine. In a Spin, the Action of the World on Things, Volume I marks his first attempt to adapt this spinning technique to etching. For this series, Hirst attached copper plates to the spinning machine and used needles, screwdrivers, and other sharp tools to create dynamic, abstract patterns. The concentric-circle format of the prints and the portfolio's title were inspired by a long-exposure photograph of the night sky, capturing the stars in an abstract arrangement.
