Description: Damien Hirst (b 1965) Beyond Belief, Hardcover, for Whitecube Gallery, 1st Edition, 2008.
DESCRIPTION – Large gatefolds, Diamond Skull, Formaldehyde Shark. A full Exhibition Itinerary to rear detailing art piece dimensions.
With an introduction by WILL SELF, Printed for the Occasion of the ‘Beyond Belief’ and to accompany Damien Hirst's 2008 exhibition 03.06.2007 to 07.07.2007 at White Cube Gallery in Hoxton, London for Hirsts first Major Solo Exhibition.
A 1st Edit, 196 pages with 70 colour plates ‘Beyond Belief’ shows work by Hirst including major formaldehyde pieces, to the more recent “fact paintings” and the now legendary diamond skull “For the Love of God,” emphasising that Hirst is quite possibly the most outstanding international contemporary artist: 
Pink with two Gatefold photos and a SKULL SPREAD ‘Beyond Belief’ includes over 70 exquisite full colour plates and an essay by novelist and writer Will Self that discusses hallmark works such as "A Thousand Years" (1990), and Hirst's practice and ascendance to international fame through the late 1990s. 
Accompanying Self 's insightful and engaging text is an in-depth interview between Hirst and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of London's Serpentine Gallery, and also an essay by art historian and curator Rudi Fuchs that considers and explores the significance of 'For the Love of God'. "After all, Damien Hirst's art is concerned with love and fear, with death, malady, physical decay, medical practice and pharmaceutical illusion ... The inevitable proximity of death is the most real thing in human life. Fear of death is a more powerful emotion than love or lust. To some extent fear of death keeps us alive."
