DAMIEN HIRST (1965- ) THE HOURS / NARCISSUS ROAD. 2006. 28x20 inches, 71x50 3/4 cm. Condition A: creases in image. Hand-signed by the artist. Paper. Hirst, world renowned as the star of the British contemporary art scene, is better known for his animals in formaldehyde, dot paintings and butterfly paintings than for his posters promoting new albums, however, as a penultimate self-promoter and marketer, he involved himself in many different projects. Such side projects included designing the artwork for Anthony Genn and Martin Slattery's album cover, as well as creating similar skull-themed images for at least six of the group's singles. Skulls took on a larger role in Hirst's work the following year when he created For The Love of God, a platinum-plated skull adorned with 8,601 diamonds.
