Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst (b. 1965, UK) is one of the world's most successful contemporary artists. After studying Fine Art at Goldsmith College, he played a pivotal role in the late 1980s as a member of the 'Young British Artists' (YBA) group, catapulting it to legendary status. His significant influence helped revitalize British contemporary art and shift the art market dynamics that had been dominated by the USA. In 1995, he was awarded the Turner Prize by the Tate Museum.
His works are permanently housed in some of the world's top museums, foundations, and government institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the British Council and Tate Gallery in London, and the Fondazione Prada in Milan, Italy.
