Seller's Description:
Macabre bad-boy Damien Hirst is the most prominent and notorious member of the young British artists (YBAs). While still a student at Goldsmith's College in 1988, he curated the now renowned student exhibition, Freeze, held in east London. In this exhibition, Hirst brought together a group of young artists who would come to define cutting-edge contemporary art in the 1990s. In 1991, he had his first solo exhibition at the Woodstock Street Gallery, entitled In and Out of Love, in which he filled the gallery with hundreds of live tropical butterflies, some of which were hatched from the monochrome canvases that hung the walls. In 1992, he was part of the ground breaking Young British Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery. In this show, he exhibited his now famous “Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living,” a tiger shark in a glass tank of formaldehyde. That same year he was nominated for the prestigious Tate Gallery Turner Prize, and later won that coveted award in 1995. Hirst's best known works are his paintings, medicine cabinet sculptures, and glass tank installations. His work challenges the boundaries between high and low culture, art and science, and addresses the big questions of life, love, and death. Hirst's first exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery in New York was in 1997, and was entitled "No Sense of Absolute Corruption." In June of 2007 Hirst became the most expensive living artist at auction, and in September of 2008 he had an unprecedented solo auction at Sotheby's entitled “Beautiful inside my Head Forever” which was a phenomenal success and made millions. This depicts Cigarette Buts in an ashtray, sold with the original box as issued.
