Damien Steven Hirst (born 7 June 1965) is an English artist, entrepreneur, and art collector. He is the most prominent member of the group known as the Young British Artists (or YBAs), who dominated the art scene in the UK during the 1990s. He is internationally renowned, and is reportedly the United Kingdom's richest living artist, with his wealth valued at £215m in the 2010 Sunday Times Rich List. During the 1990s his career was closely linked with the collector Charles Saatchi, but increasing frictions came to a head in 2003 and the relationship ended.
Death is a central theme in Hirst's works. He became famous for a series of artworks in which dead animals (including a shark, a sheep and a cow) are preserved—sometimes having been dissected—in formaldehyde. The best known of these being The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot (4.3 m) tiger shark immersed in formaldehyde in a vitrine (clear display case). He has also made "spin paintings," created on a spinning circular surface, and "spot paintings", which are rows of randomly coloured circles created by his assistants.

Artist Damien Hirst has turned gallery owner. His new London gallery will open in October with a show of paintings by John Hoyland, the British abstract artist who objected to the Royal Academy’s 1997 Sensation exhibition of works by Young British Artists. Damien Hirst,has described the artist as “by far the greatest British abstract painter". He added: "John Hoyland was never afraid to push the boundaries.

Damien Hirst is the most well-known member of the Young British Artists. That reputation generated sales and made him one of the richest living artists in the UK. But this bad boy of British art has been unusually quiet over the past 10 years. The reason? He’s been sinking his money into an artistic spectacle that just opened in Venice.

He's Britain's most famous artist but Damien Hirst's work is "con art" and its value like toxic debt, says Julian Spalding. Jon Snow talks to Spalding and art critic Nancy Durrant about the value of contemporary art.

Critical Analysis of Damien Hirst's new show in Venice, "Treasures of the Wreck of the Unbelievable" . Most my objections would disappear if he openly acknowledge the people who physically made the work, and admitted he's the director of an art factory, and not working independently to fashion the pieces her presents.

Es considerado el artista visual más rico de la tierra. Extravagante y provocativo, Damien Hirst no deja indiferente a nadie en el mundo del arte. Animales conservados en tanques de formol o cráneos cubiertos con diamantes son algunos de sus trabajos. Euronews ha querido estar con él.

À Venise, l’événement de ce printemps est le retour de Damien Hirst, le « bad boy » de l’art… Avec son célèbre requin plongé dans le formol, ou ses crânes sertis de diamants à 100 millions de dollars, il a été l’artiste vivant le plus cher de la planète mais, depuis 10 ans, sa cote a baissé. François Pinault, en grand collectionneur, lui a préparé une opération sauvetage...
