DAMIEN HIRST : The Elusive Truth
Mar 11 - Apr 23, 2005
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by
Damien Hirst. Entitled "The Elusive Truth," the show will be comprised
of approximately thirty paintings, which have been completed over the
past three years.
This exhibition, Hirst's first in New York since 2000, signals a new direction in his work.
Hirst's 2004 exhibitions include his first survey exhibition, "The
Agony and the Ecstacy," at Museo Archelogico Nazionale, Naples, and
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida: Fairhurst, Hirst and Lucas," at Tate Britain,
London. "Damien Hirst: From the Cradle to the Grave, Selected Drawings"
was also published in 2004. It presents an important selection of
drawings and sketches spanning Hirst's entire career.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a large-format catalogue that
highlights 24 paintings featured in the current New York exhibition.
Measuring 18 x 12 inches, the book will include full-color
reproductions on hand-tipped in plates, a raised plastic cover
displaying the painting "Two Pills" (2004), an essay by J. G. Ballard
and dye-cut windows that highlight details of the paintings.
Additionally, Damien Hirst has written or selected texts that will
accompany each painting throughout the catalogue.
