SPOT PAINTINGS
1986–2011
Damien Hirst, the perennial bad boy, who may be best known for his diamond studded platinum human skull For the Love of God (2007) has decided to take over yet again. This time it's worldwide, and simultaneous. Hirst will exhibit over three hundred of his signature dot series paintings for the exhibition The Complete Spot Paintings 1986-2011. The international exhibition will host works in Gagosian's spaces in New York, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Rome, Athens, Geneva, and Hong Kong and includes the very first dot painting from 1986 all the way to the last, made in 2011, comprised of over 25,781 unique colors. If you think it sounds repetitive, take a closer look at the variety, format and scale spanning the past decade and a half. Hirst certainly gets his mileage from a deceptively simply form.
