Damien Hirst is one of the most controversial, influential, and fascinating artists working today, and arguably the most famous. From the controversy of his early work to the political storm surrounding the arrival of the exhibition Sensation at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, his work has redefined international expectations of modern art. Even people with only a passing knowledge of art are familiar with his installations of a shark, cows, and sheep pickled in formaldehyde. On the Way to Work is an extremely candid autobiography of Hirst presented in a series of conversations. He expounds in unpredictable and scabrously funny ways on everything from art to celebrity to sex, and these frank and intimate conversations are punctuated with art from all phases of his career chosen by Hirst himself. This book is a window into Hirst's world: growing up in working class northern England, roughhousing in pubs, obsessing about life and death, questioning art world fame, and believing that art and beauty make a difference in the modern world. In addition to the attention he generates, this dynamic artist also garners critical acclaim-he is the winner of the Turner Prize and, ever since the groundbreaking exhibition that he organized as a fledgling artist in the early nineties, he is considered the unofficial leader of the Young British Artists movement. Hirst's appeal goes beyond the world of art; he's an influential figure to architects, designers, and the fashion crowd as well. Engaging, well-illustrated, and a real event in the art world, On the Way to Work, like its subject, will generate controversy and acclaim.

Damien Hirst, il più controverso e discusso artista britannico cresciuto nel rumore mass-mediatico della Young British Art, ritorna con un nuovo provocatorio progetto sul tema dei medicinali. Prendendo come riferimento episodi e personaggi del Nuovo e Vecchio Testamento, l'artista dei Medicine Cabinet, dei pill painting e di Pharmacy plasma una nuova religione in cui i tagli chirurgici diventano stimmati e le medicine, pillole multicoliori dalla compisizione misteriosa e dai nomi esotici, sono i nuovi idoli che dispensano guarigione e salvezza del corpo. Introduce un'intervista a Damien Hirst curata dal giornalista Sean O'Hagan.
