 Damien Hirst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2002 Hirst gave up smoking and drinking, although the short-term result was that his wife Maia "had to move out because I was so horrible." He met Joe Strummer (former lead singer of The Clash) at Glastonbury in 1995, becoming good friends and going on annual family holidays with him.
Hirst first gained general public notoriety that same year when one of his works was featured as a send-up in a British tabloid newspaper.
Hirst was then sued himself for breach of copyright over this sculpture, which was a 20ft six ton enlargement of his son Connor's 14" Young Scientist Anatomy Set designed by Norman Emms, 10,000 of which are sold a year by Hull-based toy manufacturer Humbrol for £14.99 each.

 Guardian | Fresh out of ideas
Hirst is the most original artist of my generation, and I have watched his career with admiration, awe, and irritation at the large number of stupid things said about him.
The reason it has no relevance is that anything Hirst borrows becomes part of him, not through some stale reference to Marcel Duchamp, but because he established, by about 1992, such an imaginative artistic identity it can absorb whatever lies in its path.
In his day Hirst was, without question, the artist who most mattered in the entire world: the only artist whose images truly entered the culture's lifeblood after the death of Andy Warhol.

Long before Hirst announced (that’s right, Damien announces his artistic intentions) to the media that he was intending to create the world’s most expensive work of art ever, the shark-in-the-vitrina artist had proven how his imagination is primarilly geared toward attracting media attention rather than great art.
In 2001 a Hirst installation was thrown away by an over-zealous cleaner who mistook the piles of ashtrays and empty beer bottles for rubbish.
Hirst is adroit at handling media relations partly because he has been helped by his good friend and art dealer Jay Joplin, owner of White Cube gallery.

MOSCOW - Damien Hirst, the superstar British artist best known for his pickled displays of large animal corpses, launched his controversial work in Russia's capital on Monday at a private viewing with a difference.
The sell-out success of Hirst's debut Moscow show was all the more remarkable because the works on sale - part of a series entitled New Religion which was first shown in London last October - are all limited edition prints and artefacts of up to 155 copies per work, rather than one-offs.
Hirst has said the show attempts to portray how science has become the world's new religion.

 Damien Hirst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Hirst participated physically in the making of early works, he has always needed assistants (Carl Freedman helped with the first vitrines), and now the volume of work produced necessitates a "factory" setup, akin to Andy Warhol's or a Renaissance studio.
This has led to questions about authenticity, as was highlighted in 1997, when a spin painting that Hirst said was a "forgery" appeared at sale, although he had previously said that he often had nothing to do with the creation of these pieces.
Hirst has been praised in recognition of his celebrity and the way this has galvanised interest in the arts, raising the profile of British art and helping to (re)create the image of "Cool Britannia".
