Company Name. He never met his father; his mother married his stepfather when Hirst was hilario galguera damien hirst biography, and the couple divorced 10 years later. His stepfather was reportedly a motor mechanic. His mother stated that she lost control of her son when he was young, as he was notably arrested on two occasions for shoplifting. Hirst sees her as someone who would not tolerate rebellion: she cut up his bondage trousers and heated one of his Sex Pistols vinyl records on the cooker to turn it into a fruit bowl or a plant pot.

He says, "If she didn't like how I was dressed, she would quickly take me away from the bus stop". She did, though, encourage his liking for drawing, which was his only successful educational subject. His art teacher at Allerton Grange School "pleaded" for Hirst to be allowed to enter the sixth form, where he took two A-levels, achieving an "E" grade in art.

He was refused admission to Jacob Kramer College when he first applied, but attended the art school after a subsequent successful application to the Foundation Diploma course. Davison created abstract collages from torn and cut coloured paper which, Hirst said, "blew me away", and which he modelled his own work on for the next two years. He worked for two years on London building sites, then studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College —89although again he was refused a place the first time he applied.

I still can't get it out of my head. Early career—student and warehouse shows In Julyin his second year at Goldsmiths College, Hirst was the main organiser of an independent student exhibition, Freeze, in a disused London Port Authority administrative block in London's Docklands. He gained sponsorship for this event from the London Docklands Development Corporation.

Hirst's own contribution to the show consisted of a cluster of cardboard boxes painted with household paint. After graduating, Hirst was included in New Contemporaries show and in a group show at Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge. Seeking a gallery dealer, he first approached Karsten Schubert, but was turned down. Hirst, along with his friend Carl Freedman and Billee Sellman, curated two enterprising "warehouse" shows inModern Medicine and Gambler, in a Bermondsey former Peek Freans biscuit factory they designated "Building One".

Saatchi arrived at the second show in a green Rolls Royce and, according to Freedman, stood open-mouthed with astonishment in front of and then bought Hirst's first major "animal" installation, A Thousand Years, consisting of a large glass case containing maggots and flies feeding on a rotting cow's head. They also staged Michael Landy's Market.

At this time, Hirst said, "I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away hilario galguera damien hirst biography it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say 'f off'. But after a while you can get away with things. The Serpentine Gallery presented the first survey of the new generation of artists with the exhibition Broken English, in part curated by Hirst.

In Hirst met the up-and-coming art dealer, Jay Jopling, who then represented him. InCharles Saatchi had offered to fund whatever artwork Hirst wanted to make, and the result was showcased in in the first Young British Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in North London. The exhibition also included In a Thousand Years. As a result of the show, Hirst was nominated for that year's Turner Prize, but it was awarded to Grenville Davey.

Hirst's first major international presentation was in the Venice Biennale in with the work, Mother and Child Divided, a cow and a calf cut into sections and exhibited in a series of separate vitrines. On 9 May, Mark Bridger, a year-old artist from Oxford, walked into the gallery and poured black ink into the tank, and retitled the work Black Sheep.

He was subsequently prosecuted, at Hirst's wish, and was given two years' probation. When a photograph of Away from the Flock was reproduced in the book by Hirst I want to spend the rest of my life everywhere, with everyone, one-to-one, always, forever, now, the vandalism was referenced by allowing the tank to be obscured by pulling a card, reproducing the effect of ink being poured into the tank; this resulted in Hirst being sued by Bridger for violating his copyright on Black Sheep.

New York public health officials banned Two Fucking and Two Watching featuring a rotting cow and bull, because of fears of "vomiting among the visitors". There were solo shows in Seoul, London and Salzburg. He directed the video for the song "Country House" for the band Blur. In the Sensation exhibition opened at the Royal Academy in London.

A Thousand Years and other works by Hirst were included, but the main controversy occurred over other artists' works. It was nevertheless seen as the formal acceptance of the YBAs into the establishment. Hirst also painted a simple colour pattern for the Beagle 2 probe. This pattern was to be used to calibrate the probe's cameras after it had landed on Mars.

He turned down the British Council's invitation to be the UK's representative at the Venice Biennale because "it didn't feel right". He threatened to sue British Airways claiming a breach of copyright over an advert design with coloured spots for its low budget airline, Go. Hirst was then sued himself for breach of copyright over this sculpture see Appropriation below.

Hirst sold three more copies of his sculpture for similar amounts to the first. It was wicked, but it was devised in this way for this kind of impact. It was devised visually You've got to hand it to them on some level because they've achieved something which nobody would have ever have thought possible, especially to a country as big as America.

So on one level they kind of need congratulating, which a lot of people shy away from, which is a very dangerous thing. The next week, following public outrage at his remarks, he issued a statement through his company, Science Ltd: I apologise unreservedly for any upset I have caused, particularly to the families of the victims of the events on that terrible day.

InHirst gave up smoking and drinking after his wife Maia had complained and "had to move out because I was so horrible". He had met Joe Strummer former lead singer of The Clash at Glastonbury inbecoming good friends and going on annual family holidays with him. Just before ChristmasStrummer died of a heart attack. This had a profound effect on Hirst, who said, "It was the first time I felt mortal".

He subsequently devoted a lot of time to founding a charity, Strummerville, to help young musicians. This brought a developing strain in his relationship with Saatchi to a head one source of contention had been who was most responsible for boosting their mutual profile. Hirst disassociated himself from the retrospective to the extent of not including it in his CV.

He was angry that a Mini car that he had decorated for charity with his trademark spots was being exhibited as a serious artwork. The show also scuppered a prospective Hirst retrospective at Tate Modern.
