{"title":"Damien Hirst","description":"\u003cp\u003eDamien Hirst (b. 1965, Bristol) is among the most prominent figures of the Young British Artists generation. His practice spans sculpture, painting, installation, and printed matter, and is organised around recurring structures: the medicine cabinet, the spot painting, the vitrine, the spin painting, and the natural history work. Mortality, pharmaceutical culture, consumer branding, and the aesthetics of display are persistent concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHirst represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1993 and has exhibited at Tate Modern, the Gagosian Gallery, White Cube, and major institutions internationally. His 2008 auction \u003cem\u003eBeautiful Inside My Head Forever\u003c\/em\u003e at Sotheby’s London set records for a single-artist sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection gathers exhibition invitations, catalogues, and printed matter relating to Hirst’s practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"damien-hirst-medicine-cabinets-lm-arts-2010","title":"Damien Hirst — Medicine Cabinets","description":"\u003cp\u003eL\u0026amp;M Arts, New York, 2010\u003cbr\u003eExhibition invitation card\u003cbr\u003e18.5 × 22.5 cm\u003cbr\u003eHeavy multi-ply cardstock; glossy image side, matte printed verso\u003cbr\u003eOpening reception: 28 October 2010, 6–8 pm\u003cbr\u003eExhibition dates: 28 October – 11 December 2010\u003cbr\u003eL\u0026amp;M Arts, 45 East 78th Street, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good.

The card reduces the exhibition to image, venue, date, and catalogue notice: pharmaceutical surface as announcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst developed in 1988 while Hirst was at Goldsmiths, the medicine cabinet works became one of the clearest structures in his early practice. Medical packaging is arranged as belief system, consumer image, bodily proxy, and temporary defence against decay. The cabinet promises order. The products promise repair. The image holds both promises in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis invitation carries that system in secondary form. Bottles, labels, dosages, warnings, and branded containers move from cabinet to photograph to printed card.
