On the Way to Work

'On the Way to Work' is many things. It is a collection of conversations between Burn and Hirst. The conversations range from Hirst's love for Francis Bacon, to grumblings on his dealings with the media. But perhaps most importantly, 'On the Way to Work' is Hirst's manifesto. It is an insight into how he views his own art. This book is a great buy. If you are interested in Hirst, this book is essential. (For those looking for a book that showcases Hirst's art, I would recommend the fantastic: 'I want to spend the rest of my life everywhere...' )

I would recommend this book for only the deepest of Damien Hirst fans. It is mostly dialogue and photographs of him in his normal settings. The text is very interesting...I become so inspired I put it down immediately, and begin working on something. The book shows a realistic view into a truly remarkable artists mind.
