{"product_id":"damien-hirst-damien-hirst-9781912122066","title":"Damien Hirst: Colour Space: The Complete Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe series of recent \u003ci\u003eColour Space\u003c\/i\u003e paintings by Damien Hirst (born 1965) have deep roots in Hirst's practice, relating to his \u003ci\u003eSpot Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e, a series begun by the artist in 1986, during his first year as a student at Goldsmiths. Conceived in 2016, \u003ci\u003eColour Space\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a response to the iconic \u003ci\u003eSpot Painting\u003c\/i\u003e series. Where the \u003ci\u003eSpot Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e are painstakingly rigorous in their formulaic grid structure, intended to look as if they'd been made \"by a person trying to paint like a machine,\" the \u003ci\u003eColour Space\u003c\/i\u003e series is looser and more painterly, featuring informal drips and splashes of paint. Both series, however, share a system--no two colors repeat within a single canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSpot Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e were always conceived of as an ongoing project (1,365 and counting), but \u003ci\u003eColour Space\u003c\/i\u003e is a finite series, consisting of more than 260 works painted with household gloss paint on canvas. These paintings are then subcategorized by spot size: 6 mm, 10 mm, 25 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm; with a selection executed on a black background. Each painting is fully illustrated in this publication, alongside artwork details and an introductory essay by Ann Gallagher, director of collections at Tate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Damien Hirst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912122065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912122066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heni Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Damien Hirst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132873896191,"sku":"9781912122066","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5be91b37-de64-4392-b58a-fb67c83549a1.jpg?v=1687482818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/damien-hirst-damien-hirst-9781912122066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
