Lot description
Damien Hirst's spin art works as well as the portfolio's title were inspired by long exposure photographs of the night sky. This print comes from the artist's second print portfolio and one of his first forays into the medium of engraving. Hirst's interest in contemporary music often permeates his artwork. The concentric circles of this print resemble the grooves in a vinyl LP. This rare print takes it's title from the second album by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, the title track being Global-a-go-go.

This print is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
This print is in absolutely mint condition.
