	Damien Hirst
		Hirst understood the claustrophobic horror of Francis Bacon's art, and found surprising parallels in the modern office or the lowly art tradition of portraits of animals.
		Hirst may have been heralded in a timely enough manner, but in fact he did not have a major one-man exhibition in New York until 1996, the year of his much-delayed inaugural at Gagosian.

	ARTBURST.com - Damien Hirst Art And Biography
		Hirst’s exhibit of a cow and calf sawn in half and pickled in formaldehyde was received unfavourably by critics and public alike, but made him a household name overnight.
		Hirst’s Loss of Memory is worse than Death, a steel cage enclosing formaldehyde containers, a mask, gloves and a syringe also failed to sell when the bidding was stopped at £55,000 (it was expected to make £80,000 -120,000).
		Hirst's work is controversial and he is regarded by many as a self-publicist rather than an artist.

	Tracey Emin - In and Out of Love with Damien Hirst.
		Hirst is as much or more known for his lifestyle as for his art, and he takes care to ensure that the two are thoroughly entangled.
		Hirst plays on this, of course, telling interviewers that he wants to call some piece, 'I sometimes feel I have nothing to say, I often want to communicate this.'18 The emptiness is to do with the work's collage basis in which ready-made elements are simply assembled.
		Hirst's materials are only incidentally objects in the world, for they live the greater part of their lives in the media.

	DAMIEN HIRST - MUSEO - VOLUME 4
		When you learn that Hirst picks the pleasant hues from shades used by pharmaceutical companies for their pills, your enjoyment becomes complicated by the spin; the extra information tempts interpretation, but the experience remains enjoyment, because the works affect your body, not mind.
		The viewer reacts to Hirst's works with his or her body, and the works concern the body — its pleasures, functions, and composition.
		Hirst's use of medical equipment is a convenient way to both focus on the body and remind the viewer of medicine's inability to protect this body from death.

	DAMIEN HIRST - FOOD PACKAGING
		Damien the artist, perhaps aware of this connection, asserts a conceptual link between medicine and art: 'Art is like medicine – it can heal.
		Hirst plays out the metaphor of colour as drug and religious experience in the rich hues of The Last Supper screenprints.
		Hirst resolutely identifies himself as a visual rather than conceptual artist: 'I think that individuality is a confusing thing, so to get rid of that visually is exciting.' Hirst’s deceptively simple approach to his art masks the big questions about life, love, death and mortality.

	Haber's Art Reviews: Damien Hirst
		Damien Hirst has worked as a painter and a parody of a painter, with deliberately dull abstractions churned out at parties.
		Hirst has always played with the very idea of raw art while wallowing in Britain's traditions of high seriousness quite as much as a paradoxical conservative in new media like Tacita Dean.
		Hirst makes a doctor's daily dealing with death a part of the carnival—the same art-world carnival that delights and disturbs in the hands of others from Yoko Ono and Nam-June Paik to Pipilotti Rist.

	Amazon.com: Damien Hirst: Gordon Burn: Books
		Hirst's fame, his spearheading of the YBA (young British artists) phenomenon, and his subsequent exposure in the gossip columns with the well-documented, and inevitable, drug and drink stories, are all fully covered here.

		Hirst is at his best playing enfant-terrible/raconteur, spitting out stories of a hardscrabble childhood and grand-guignol adolescence, rejecting the polite aesthetics of art school, and raging against the vapidity of an art world that would use his creative rage for its own amusement.

	Damien Hirst
		Damien Hirst gets so buried under hype - his own and other people's - that it is sometimes difficult to remember that he is just an artist.

		Hirst's early work already revealed his magpie-like ability to borrow, steal and generally re-invest with contemporary significance earlier art, be it Duchamp, surrealism, Arte Povera, American minimalism or the work of his contemporaries.
