In 1984 he moved to London, where he worked in construction before studying for a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths college from 1986 to 1989. Whilst in his second year, he conceived and curated a group exhibition entitled ‘Freeze’. The show is commonly acknowledged to have been the launching point for Hirst and for a generation of British artists.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince the late 1980s, Hirst has used varied practices to explore the complex relationships between art, life and death, explaining: “Art’s about life and it can’t really be about anything else … there isn’t anything else.” Through work, he investigates and challenges contemporary belief systems, and dissects the uncertainties at the heart of human experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince 1987, over 90 solo Damien Hirst exhibitions have taken place worldwide, and his work has been included in over 260 group shows.

It is not for nothing that Lalique is also referred to as the ‘haute couture’ of crystal. Since 1922, every Lalique piece has been produced at their only factory, the Verrerie d'Alsace glassworks at Wingen-sur Moder, Alsace, in a French region with a strong historical glassmaking tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis piece is brand new, sourced directly from Lalique, and bears the Lalique signature at its base, guaranteeing authenticity.
