BRITISH, 1965
Damien Hirst first came to public attention in London in 1988 when he conceived and curated “Freeze,” an exhibition in a disused warehouse that showed his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths College. In the nearly quarter of a century since
that pivotal show (which would come to define the Young British Artists), Hirst has become one of the most influential artists of his generation.
