Damien Hirst in City of London
Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst, one of the most influential artists of his generation, will be bringing together renowned pieces of work in a spectacular exhibition at the Tate Modern this spring. Hirst organised his first exhibition when he was still a student and the now-famed Freeze exhibition launched the definition of cutting-edge contemporary art in the 1990s. Further displays by the award winning innovative artist include The Pharmacy, a life size pharmaceutical room, For the Love of God, a diamond encrusted skull and doubtlessly his most famous, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, which featured a 14 foot tiger shark suspended in formaldehyde inside a glass tank. With the compilation of these controversial pieces in one place - including seminal paintings made throughout his career - this first seminal survey of Hirst's work over the past two decades promises to be an exceptional show. If only he actually did all his work himself, eh?
