### Author Biography

Born in Bristol in 1965, **Damien Hirst** grew up in Leeds and studied at Goldsmiths College, London. Most notable amongst the exhibitions he curated while at college was Freeze, in 1988, in which he exhibited his work and that of his contemporaries. The exhibition is widely believed to have been the starting point of the Young British Artists' careers, and a defining moment in kick-starting cutting edge British contemporary art.

Hirst's body of work confronts the scientific, philosophical, and religious aspects of human existence and includes sculpture, painting, and printmaking. He has exhibited widely and was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995 for _The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living_. In 2004, Hirst collaborated with Sarah Lucas and Angus Fairhurst on an exhibit at Tate Britain called In-a-Gadda-da-Vida. In 2006, works from the artist's murderme collection were exhibited at the Serpentine Gallery, London: More recently, Hirst exhibited "No Love Lost: Blue Paintings" at The Wallace Collection, London, 2010; "Cornucopia" at Musee Oceanographique de Monaco, 2010, and with Michael Joo, "Have You Ever Really Looked at the Sun?" at Haunch of Venison Berlin, 2010.

Hirst's work can be found in many important collections worldwide, including Tate in London, The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh; Broad Art Foundation; Centraal Museum, Utrecht, Netherlands; Neue Galerie Graz, Austria, and State Museum of Berlin, Germany.
