This is perhaps the best way to get into the controversial artist Damien Hirst's work. Some people call him a genius, and others call him a cheat, either way, you have to make up your mind for yourself, and this book wonderfully presents all manner of his work (painting, sculpture, visual art, and otherwise) for you to make that decision. And trust me, it won't be an easy one.

Another gorgeous design. Really the best way to look at Hirst's work (design), otherwise you run into mounds of conceptual bullocks.
