A romp through a whimsical selection of Hirst's multimedia works, from his pipe-cleaner animals to his oversize color charts This playful new publication celebrates Sunshine (Complex Relationships Explained Simply) , the exhibition by British artist Damien Hirst (born 1965) that ran at Claridge's ArtSpace from October to December 2021. Sunshine unites a group of Hirst's works shown collectively for the first time. The book features high-resolution images of every work included in the exhibition, from Hirst's iconic pipe-cleaner animals, designed to evoke a childlike sense of wonder, to his bold, oversize color charts, born from his long-standing fascination with color systems. Perfect for seasoned collectors and newcomers alike, the publication offers a joyful entry point into a collection that, filled with whimsical forms and vibrant colors, disarms the often-analytical gaze of the art world and encourages viewers to reconnect with the simple pleasure of looking.
