DAMIEN HIRST (Bristol, UK, 1965). "Circle spin Painting", 2009. Acrylic on cardboard. Stamped on the back. Measurements: 52 cm (diameter). This work was conceived for the exhibition "Requiem", held at PinchukArtCentre, Kiev, Ukraine, in 2009. The exhibition included over 100 works by the artist, such as 'A Thousand Years' (1990), 'With Dead Head' (1991) and 'Loving in a World of Desire' (1996), 'Requiem' presented the first exhibition of works from Hirst's series of oil paintings on canvas, which had begun in 2006. The "Spin paintings" are based on a novel technique of placing the canvas on a rapidly rotating device while the artist applies the paint from different angles and distances. The rotating movement of the canvas generates unexpected patterns and effects on the surface, creating colorful and dynamic compositions. These paintings are known for capturing the movement and energy in the process of creation, and reflect Hirst's postmodern aesthetic that challenges the traditional conventions of art. Damien Hirst was born in Bristol on June 7, 1965, in an economically challenged suburban environment. He never knew his biological father and his mother married a car salesman, who left them when Hirst was 13. His mother, an amateur artist and devout Christian, took care of him, but because of his father's abandonment he had to be educated from the bottom up, which is perhaps the main reason why Damien Hirst argues that art has no class. He trained at the University of Leed while combining his studies with a job at the local mortuary, which he later abandoned to move to London. During this time he was working in construction and in turn applying to various art schools such as St Martins, or the faculty of Wales. He was finally accepted at Golsdmiths College, which at the time, due to the economic recession in England, was a school that attracted bright students and creative tutors. While studying, Hirst financed his expenses by working on telephone surveys, a direct cause of his ability to fake any emotion over the phone. During his studies he also worked at McDonald's, and part-time at the Anthony D'Ofray gallery, where he learned the mechanics of the art market. Already in his second year of studies, Hirst, acquired the role of artist and curator, and managed to make an exhibition that would change the course of British art, it was his first solo exhibition with only 26 years. Four years later, in 1995, he won his second Turner Prize nomination for Mother and Child. At the age of 32, the Larry Gagosian Gallery offered him a major retrospective, after which he declared that he had no place left to exhibit, he had done it all and too fast. So soon the media baptized him with the name Hooligan Genius. Although he became a millionaire at the age of 40, Hirst's hypersensitivity became suspicious; wrapped in an aura of romanticism, he made revolutionizing the art world seem simple. On several occasions he has acknowledged his desire to be famous and in the face of criticism he has defended himself with phrases like "they could not admit to themselves that they wanted to be famous and resented not being famous" or "I think my desire was to be more famous than rich, I think the desire to create art and be famous is like the desire to live forever two obsessions: death and celebrity".

A JADE ARC-SHAPED ‘MASK’ PENDANT, HUANG, LIANGZHU CULTURE A JADE ARC-SHAPED ‘MASK’ PENDANT, HUANG, LIANGZHU CULTURE China, circa 3300-2200 BC. The flattened pendant neatly incised to one side with a mask with bulging eyes at the center and two apertures to the edges for suspension. The translucent stone of a soft ivory-white color with extensive calcification. Provenance: From a Czech private collection. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear and weathering, as expected. The stone with natural inclusions and fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time. Weight: 54.9 g Dimensions: Length 9.2 cm Huang were a part of the elite adornments during the Neolithic period, especially within Hongshan, Liangzhu, and Longshan cultures. These were worn along with headgear, knee decorations, elaborate beaded necklaces, and other body ornaments, all made primarily from jade. Dr. Elizabeth Childs-Johnson dubs these cultures a part of the ‘Jade Age’, a period during which an abundance of jade objects accompanied the elite burials for the first time. The imagery carved on these jade adornments was highly standardized, and the most prominent image, which appears on this lot, is that of the godhead (also called a spirit person, shenren, or an anthropomorphized deity). This image is flat, often covered in cosmic cloud scrolls, and has zoomorphic attributes combining bird and semi-human elements. Literature comparison: Compare a related jade huang from the Liangzhu culture in the Ancient Chinese Jade Gallery of the Shanghai Museum. Compare a related jade huang from the Liangzhu culture included in the jade relics exhibition of the Dawenkou, Longshan, and Liangzhu cultures at the Shandong Museum, Jinan, in 2014. Compare a related jade ornament with a mask design, dated mid-3 rd millennium BC, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 18.63.
