Exciting news for anyone headed over to the Mother Country this year. The Tate Modern has announced it will present the first substantial survey of Damien Hirst’s work ever held in the UK. While definitely polarizing, Hirst is widely regarded as one of the most important artists working today and has created some of the most iconic works in recent history.

Featuring over 70 of the artist’s work, some of the highlights include:

-The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, in which Hirst suspended a shark in formaldehyde

Mother and Child Divided, a four-part sculpture of a bisected cow and calf

A Thousand Years (1990), in which the cycle of life is represented by a cow’s head, flies and insect-o-cutor

-Paintings from Hirst’s spot, spin, butterfly and fly series

Major installations In and Out of Love (1991), not shown in its entirety since its creation, and Pharmacy (1992)

Whether you like Hirst or not, there is no doubt that the exhibition will be a sight to behold and well worth a visit if you’re in London between 4th April – 9th September 2012.
