Catalogue Note
'Each time (Hirst) showed a new work it was as if some art-world Jack the Ripper had perpetrated one more outrageous crime. The public's reaction was the same admixture of horror and frank admiration that it reserves for the acts of the most elusive criminal.' (Richard Shone, Some Went Mad, Some Ran Away, Serpentine Gallery, 1994, quoted in Theories, Models, Methods, Approaches, Assumptions, Results and Findings, Gagosian Gallery, 2000, p.113)
