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...' )

Enjoyed this book ...

Gospel.

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.

10/10

Segments of interviews spanning Hirst's phenomenal career, this book is a must read for any fan.Hirst's ability to communicate his ideas and thoughts are like no other. Simple and unassuming this book leads you through the thought processes to some of his best know works and shows.An added aesthetic bonus, it also contains some beautiful photographs of the artist, not only at work, but in his home environment also.This book is available for less than 5 pounds here on amazon, a fraction of what I would be willing to pay for it having read it.
