Damien Hirst in Tate Modern, London

  Although I am not a fan of Damien Hirst's art work, but as he is so famous and his skeleton which is one of the most expensive art work now. I thought why not to have a look, even though I can't really take the death issue.

  Damien Hirst is a contemporary artist till now. He was born in Bristol in 1965 and grew up in Leeds, where he began his studies in art at Jacob Kramer College. This exhibition is the first major survey of Hirst's work to be held in London. It provides an opportunity to trace the development of his career and to experience some of his most iconic works.


Damien Hirst and his most expensive art work - the skeleton which cover with diamonds.

The most famous and contention art work - The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living 1991; Private collection; Copyright Damien Hirst and Science Ltd.

This piece of the artwork and the butterflies are the only artwork that don't freak me out. The title of it - Away from the Flock 1994; Copyright Damien Hirst and Science Ltd.

'Butterflies' is the artwork that I really impressed about it. Damien Hirst used the colour, size and the pattern of the butterflies' wing to create another new pattern. The title of it - Sympathy in White Major - Absolution II 2006; Private collection; Copyright Damien Hirst and Science Ltd.
