About Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst is a contemporary British artist whose work has rarely stood still throughout his career. Beginning in the 1980s, his prominence on the art scene has stood the test of time. Hirst’s plans for artwork releases after his death show he is an artist who is not going anywhere.
He burst onto the scene in the late ‘80s alongside other Young British Artists (YBA’s). Exhibitions such as Freeze in 1988 brought together 16 students from Goldsmiths, University of London, under the tutelage of Michael Craig-Martin were pushing boundaries and putting British artists back on the cultural map. The YBA’s under the patronage of Charles Saatchi grew to include artists such as Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, Rachel Whiteread, Gary Hume and Sarah Lucas, building the BritArt movement.
From this point, his work has expanded, taking over the global market, where you can now buy pieces from his most famous series to more affordable works, allowing you the chance to join the Damien Hirst art market.
