Biography

Damien Steven Hirst is an English artist born in Bristol and raised in Leeds. He studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he became a leading figure of the Young British Artists movement in the late 1980s, organizing the influential 'Freeze' exhibition in 1988. Hirst gained international notoriety for works preserving dead animals in formaldehyde, including 'The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living', a tiger shark suspended in a vitrine. He won the Turner Prize in 1995 and became closely associated with collector Charles Saatchi, who acquired and championed much of his early work. Other notable pieces include 'For the Love of God', a platinum skull encrusted with diamonds, and 'Verity', a large bronze sculpture in Ilfracombe, England. Hirst remains one of the wealthiest and most commercially successful contemporary artists, known also for spot and spin paintings.
