| DAMIEN HIRST (1965-) Hirst apparently gained a disappointing ‘D’ in his A-Level art exam, but went on to train at Goldsmiths College, London, a breeding ground for ground-breaking British art. He is known as the ‘bad-boy’ of Brit-Art, but actually little is known of the personality behind the thought-provoking works. He chops up cows and displays them in giant tanks of formaldehyde; he opened a restaurant in Notting Hill, London, called the Pharmacy, which had walls lined with medicine cabinets and rinks with medicinal names. In 1995, Hirst won the prestigious Turner Prize for his provocative art. |
