Description
Damien Hirst's collection of quotations offers a unique insight into the mind of one of the world's most provocative artists. Gathered from interviews and primary sources, these bold and often humorous quotes explore Hirst's early years, family life, artistic influences, and motivations. From his fascination with the connections between art, religion, science, and life to his thoughts on fame, money, and the art world, Hirst's words shed new light on a fascinating and important contemporary artist. This comprehensive collection provides a nuanced understanding of an artist who has pushed boundaries and challenged conventions throughout his career. With quotes such as "The less I feel like an artist, the better I feel" and "Sometimes you have to step over the edge to know where it is," Hirst-isms offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a true original.
