Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Beyond Belief includes over 70 exquisite full colour plates and an essay by novelist and writer Will Self that discusses hallmark works such as A Thousand Years’ (1990), and Hirst’s practice and ascendance to international fame through the late 1990s. Accompanying Self ’s insightful and engaging text is an in-depth interview between Hirst and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of London’s Serpentine Gallery, and also an essay by art historian and curator Rudi Fuchs that considers and explores the significance of For the Love of God’ in relation to Hirst’s oeuvre: After all, Damien Hirst’s art is concerned with love and fear, with death, malady, physical decay, medical practice and pharmaceutical illusion The inevitable proximity of death is the most real thing in human life. Fear of death is a more powerful emotion than love or lust. To some extent fear of death keeps us alive.”
