Description
Damien Hirst and Margaret Mellis: A Connection Revealed This book explores the connection between two influential artists, Damien Hirst and Margaret Mellis, who became close friends and mentors during the development of Hirst's early career. In the 1980s, Hirst would visit Mellis' home and studio, where he studied her unique drawings of "half-dead flowers" and assemblages fashioned from her beachcombing finds. The book features reproductions of Mellis' artwork, including assemblages and drawings, alongside a reproduction of a letter written to Hirst by Mellis from 1987. This volume also includes an essay on Mellis by Hirst, providing insight into their relationship and artistic collaboration. By shedding light on this lesser-known aspect of Hirst's career, this book offers a unique perspective on the development of his artistic style and the influence of his mentor, Margaret Mellis.
