Damien Hirst's Spot Paintings and How to Dot It Yourself

Famed conceptual artist and provocateur Damien Hirst has said of his spot paintings: "I only ever made five... myself ... And my spots I painted are shite. ... The best person who ever painted spots for me was Rachel. She's brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant. The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel." Rachel Howard was one of his assistants. There are around 1000 "Hirst" spot paintings, the first of which was painted directly onto a gallery wall, and they are supposedly popular in Japan and Korea. Two essential books by Hirst are On the Way to Work and I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, with Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now. Nice sentiment.
