Damien Steven Hirst (/hɜːrst/; né Brennan; born 7 June 1965) is an English artist and art collector. He is one of the Young British Artists (YBAs) who dominated the art scene in the UK during the 1990s. He is reportedly the United Kingdom's richest living artist, with his wealth estimated at US$384 million in the 2020 Sunday Times Rich List. During the 1990s his career was closely linked with the collector Charles Saatchi, but increasing frictions came to a head in 2003 and the relationship ended.

A gang of us went to see Tracey Emin’s latest exhibit (entitled ‘I followed you to the end’) yesterday at White Cube Bermondsey (19 September – 10 November 2024). It’s described on White Cube’s website as “a presentation of new paintings and sculptures that journey through love and loss, mortality and rebirth. Drawing from a recent, transformative experience, Emin continues her exploration of life’s most profound and intimate moments, with renewed intensity.” Quick thoughts: the show is dark, despairing and profoundly un-consoling. I dug it! The fiercely confrontational Emin has been typically brutally candid about the hardships of life post-cancer. She’s never sugar-coated anything, and it’s most definitely NOT her job to make anyone feel better! Utilizing a deliberately limited colour palette (and featuring lots of crimson paint splatters evoking dripping blood), the latest works includes titles like ‘I don’t want to have sex because my body feels dead’, ‘The End of Love’, ‘Tears of Blood’ and ‘I Kept Crying’. Many appear to be what I assume are autobiographical portraits of agonized women splayed out in bed, often with their pet cat hovering protectively nearby (which made me reflect how my own cat Eartha Kitten would NEVER deign to do this for me). The White Cube was absolutely thronging on a Sunday – and bizarrely, loads of people were snapping perky smiling selfies in front of the works! Pictured: ‘I Waited So Long – Too Long’ (2024).
