Parkett Vol. 40/41
Quote from Parkett
“The revolutionary geometrical ideal of the twentieth century plays the same role for Damien Hirst that the classical norm played for nineteenth century decadent art. Hirst is primarily interested in the injuries inflicted upon living reality by the canon of geometric form, that is, the violence and terror that emanate from this canon.”
Boris Groys, Parkett No. 40/41, 1994
