The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living

Hirst's iconic 1991 piece: a tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde in a container.

In and Out of Love

Hirst hung the walls of a Soho gallery in 1991 with hundreds of butterfly pupae, which emerged, fluttered, mated and died all in the same room.

The Virgin Mother

A 35ft tall statue of a pregnant woman, with layers removed to reveal her internal organs, was unveiled at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2006.

And Still Pursuing Impossible Desires

Hirst was inspired by objects floating unattached in space. He created a series, including a ball suspended in air.

Demon with Bowl

The 16m tall sculpture towered over visitors to Hirst's 2017 exhibition in Venice: 'Treasures From the Wreck of the Unbelievable'

Sinner

Hirst's first piece in the Medicine Cabinets series was made from his grandmother's medication boxes which she left him after her death.

For the Love of God

Hirst's diamond-encrusted sculpture was made from an 18th-century cast of a human head and 8,601 diamonds. Asking price? Just £50m.

Colour and Space

The Houghton Hall exhibition includes new paintings based on his famous Spot Paintings and were made by assistants averaging 1,500 spots a day.

Spot Paintings

Some of the artist's most instantly recognisable works consist of nothing more than a series of precisely positioned coloured dots on canvases.
