Lot description

This circular porcelain plate with a screen-printed image of cigarette butts by Damien Hirst is from an edition of 1500 and was published by Swid Powell for Hirst's exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, New York in 1996.

A leader among Contemporary British artists, winner of the 1995 Turner Prize, and as of 2009, the wealthiest artist in history, Damien Hirst (British, b.1965) rose to fame after the success of two warehouse shows he organized featuring his friends' and his own work. At his second show, advertising executive Charles Saatchi purchased Hirst's “A Thousand Years,” which features a glass case enclosing a rotting head of a cow swarmed with flies. Saatchi promoted Hirst and the Young British Artists for several years, until the relationship ended in 2003. Hirst's work has generated enormous controversy, in part for the artist’s apparent morbidity and fascination with medicine and death. His works feature everything from encased heads of dead animals in various states of preservation, butterfly wings made to resemble stained glass, cabinets filled with pharmaceuticals, and diamond-encrusted skulls. A team of assistants helps Hirst carry out his projects, and his "spot" and "spin" paintings are fabricated almost entirely at the hands of others.

Hirst’s œuvre is at once abstract, conceptual, romantic, baroque and minimal. Hirst carries on the legacy of Warhol with sensation-seeking, factory-made work that is as much about marketing as it is about content.

Some of the most recent exhibitions of Hirst’s works took place at the Gagosian Gallery, New York, NY (2012); the Gagosian Gallery, London, England (2012); and the Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain (2011).
