Contemporary Art Damien Hirst Nothing Matters 2009 Signed Exhibition Catalogue of White Cube Triptych Paintings

Damien Hirst

First Edition

Hirst, Damien. Nothing Matters, 2009 publication documenting a major body of work exhibited at White Cube’s London galleries, presenting large scale triptych paintings and new directions in Hirst’s studio practice. Issued during a period when Hirst remained a central figure in contemporary British art following the Young British Artists movement, the volume records his continued engagement with themes of mortality, repetition, and visual spectacle. The work contributes to research on contemporary exhibition practice, artist authored catalogues, and the evolution of Hirst’s painting after earlier conceptual and installation based works.

Hirst, Damien. Nothing Matters. London: White Cube, 2009. Signed “Damien Hirst.” First edition. Hardcover exhibition catalogue produced in conjunction with Hirst’s dual exhibition at White Cube Mason’s Yard and Hoxton Square in November 2009. The volume features numerous large scale reproductions, including tri fold gatefold plates presenting color triptychs, as well as the first published reproductions of Hirst’s oil paintings executed on newspaper. The catalogue documents both the scale and material experimentation of the exhibited works.

Published in the context of a major London exhibition, this volume reflects the continued prominence of gallery based publication in disseminating contemporary art and shaping critical reception. Hirst’s work, often centered on themes of death and commodification, remained influential within global art markets and institutional exhibitions in the early twenty first century. The inclusion of gatefold triptychs and newly reproduced works situates this catalogue within the documentation of a specific phase in his artistic production. Clean and well preserved; overall near fine. A signed example of a contemporary exhibition catalogue documenting a major British artist’s work.
