Lot Essay

“[The Spin Paintings] illustrate the duality between a liquid or living state and a solid or dead one, capturing a sense of speed and material flux, which, however, is fossilized as soon as the canvas stops spinning and the paint finishes drying. In this sense they are memorials to the death of experience – memories of fleeting moments of immediacy and intensity that have passed” (A. Wilson, ‘Believer,’ Damien Hirst, exh. cat., Tate Modern, London, 2012, p. 205)
