DAMIEN HIRST. 1992. HIRST’S FOURTH EVER SOLO EXHIBITION)

Istanbul: British Council, 1992
28.5 x 24.5cm, 12pp plus card wrappers and printed dj. Exhibition catalogue for Hirst’s fourth solo show and his first solo show abroad – a remarkably slow level of exposure for an artist who had previously been such a media success in 1988 -  a show which was part of the Istanbul biennial. Ten large full colour photographs of Hirst installations including “The Impossibility of death in the mind of someone living”: surely (and deservedly) the 90s generation’s “Large Glass”. Text in English and Turkish by Richard Shaw. Fine and very scarce.
