Damien Hirst: Art and Celebrity excerpts

Excerpt: "Between 1988 and 1996, Damien Hirst (b.1965) became Britain’s most notorious artist, a figure comparable to the Americans Julian Schnabel and Jeff Koons. Articles about him appeared in tabloid newspapers and lifestyle magazines as well as the art press. In fact, his dealer Jay Jopling encouraged tabloid reporters to visit Hirst’s exhibitions thinking that any ridicule would be worth the publicity, which in turn would be more valuable than reviews by serious critics."
