DAMIEN HIRST: I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE, EVERYWHERE, WITH EVERYONE, ONE TO ONE, ALWAYS, FOREVER, NOW
(HIRST, DAMIEN). Hirst, Damien. Robert Violette, Editor. London & New York: Booth-Clibborn Editions, The Monacelli Press, Incorporated & Gagosian Gallery, 1996. First Edition. Large Square 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine/Fine. 334pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Jonathan Barnbrook and Damien Hirst. With a chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history. Published in conjunction with Booth-Clibborn Editions and the Gagosian Gallery, "I Want to Spend My Life With You,..." is likely the most lavish single trade publication to date on a contemporary artist. Frieze enfant terrible Hirst collaborated with the great Jonathan Barnbrook on its innovative, over the top design; incorporating a number of pop-ups, sliding and movable plates, transparent overlays, die-cut pages, stickers, and two posters. The book reproduces nearly every work created by the artist up to 1997, and is a lasting monument to the Saatchi decade. A bright, most handsome example of the 1997 Booth-Clibborn Editions, Monacelli Press and Gagosian Gallery collaborative first printing with everything present.
