Damien Hirst - “End of an Era”

Art

Damien Hirst’s “End of an Era” opens at the Gagosian Gallery this Saturday. Hirst will be exhibiting new paintings and sculptures including the piece that the show is named after. The sculpture consists of a solid gold disc resting on top of a severed bull’s head encased in formaldehyde. “End of an Era” references Hirst’s departure from several series that he is known for. Though one can imagine that Hirst may be alluding to the financial collapse that effected the art market and possibly his fortunate run. The exhibition will be on view till March 6th. (via Nowness)
