January 30-March 6, 2010
Where: GAGOSIAN GALLERY.....980 Madison Avenue, New York, New York.
Damien and his infamous diamond encrusted skull, Titled ‘For the love of God” is on sale for a whopping $98,000,00 US.
"Judgement Day" a thirty-foot long gold cabinet filled with close to 30,000 manufactured diamonds.
Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.
--Philip Larkin, excerpt from High Windows

ECSTATIC ABSTRACTION
The Star of the show....
"End of an Era", 2009

Damien is by far one of the world's greatest contemporary artists. A member of the Young
British Artists (also including Tracy Emin and Marcus Harvey), Damien is definitely
someone you want to keep your eye on. His mind is just as beautiful and fascinating as the work he produces.

Damien Hirst: God.
