Author: Edited by Jason Beard Darian Leader, Ben Okri Conversation with Damien HirstBritish artist Gavin Turk has been at the forefront of contemporary sculpture since the late 1980s, with his painted bronzes, waxworks, recyclings of art-historical icons and imaginative use of trash. This fully illustrated catalogue is published for Turk's show at Damien Hirst's new London exhibition space, Newport Street Gallery. The volume spans the duration of the artist's career to date. It features his most important pieces from his seminal blue-plaque work, 'Cave', through his many signature-based artworks, egg sculptures and waxworks, to his more recent bronze casts of sleeping bags and trash bags. Featuring three gatefolds, it also includes essays by psychoanalyst and author Darian Leader and Nigerian poet and novelist Ben Okri, plus a conversation with Hirst.ISBN 9781906967789.
