PanARMENIAN.Net - Gagosian Gallery will present "The Complete Spot
Paintings 1986-2011" by Damien Hirst.
According to artdaily, the exhibition has been conceived to take place
simultaneously across each of Gagosian Gallery's eleven locations
in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Rome, Athens, Geneva, and
Hong Kong. It will include loans from public institutions and private
collections as well as from the artist. The exhibition will open in
every city on January 12th and continue through February 18th, 2012.
This is the first time Gagosian Gallery has dedicated all locations
at once to a body of work by one artist.
Hirst's spot paintings are among the most distinctive in contemporary
art, a symbol that is recognized universally, cutting across boundaries
of culture and language. Beginning with the first spot painting
created in 1986, to monumental canvases where no single color is ever
repeated, to the most recent works, some of which comprise spots of
just 1 millimeter in diameter, this exhibition will present Hirst's
"world of spots" in a truly global context.
The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011, a fully illustrated, complete
and definitive reference to all spot paintings made by Hirst from 1986
to the present will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.
"Damien Hirst: The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011" precedes the
first major museum retrospective of Hirst's work, which opens at Tate
Modern in London in April, 2012.
Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol, England. Hirst lives and
works in London and Devon, United Kingdom. His work is included in
important public and private collections throughout the world.
