Damien Hirst - His Own Worst Enemy

White Cube 2022 ISBN 9781910844519 Acqn 32578
Hb 22x31cm 80pp col ills £37.50
Published to coincide with 'His Own Worst Enemy' at White Cube Hong Kong, this catalogue
features sculptures from the artist's acclaimed 'Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable'
alongside new paintings from his series 'The Revelations' (2021). In conversation with Tim
Marlow, Hirst re-examines the context in which he produced the two bodies of work, from finding
a way through a post-truth era to apprehending the darkness of outer space. Designed by
(Studio) Jonathan Hares, the publication leads with double-page installation views and full-bleed
details of the paintings, which show the materiality of their impasto surface. A focused selection of
sculptures is illustrated in the latter part of the publication, reproduced large-scale, in disarming
clarity.

A.R. Penck
Pb 21x26cm 128pp col ills £37.50
Published to accompany 'Paintings 1974-1990', an exhibition on the late German artist A.R.
Penck at White Cube Mason's Yard, London, this monograph spotlights 18 paintings by the artist,
and two lesser-known Super 8 films he made in collaboration with director Wolfgang Opitz.
Testifying to Penck's assertion that art should be for everyone, the works mobilise the artist's
unique concept of Standart (a portmanteau of 'standard' and 'art') and are complemented by an
in-depth 3,500-word essay by Hannah Klemm, which illuminates the extent of Penck's work and
thinking. At the back-of-book, an in-conversation with Andrea Schlieker, originally published in
Artscribe in 1983, has been re-printed to lend insight to the artist in his own vernacular.

Raqib Shaw - Palazzo Della Memoria

Pb 20x26cm 120pp col ills £31.25
Published by White Cube in collaboration with Ca' Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art,
Venice, this bilingual publication coincides with an exhibition of new paintings by Raqib Shaw,
curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal who is also the author of one of the two texts in the book. The
exhibition, of twelve recent works, draws on Venetian and Italian Old Master iconographies to
reflect on the loss of homeland and the state of exile. Using paintings by Giorgione and Tintoretto
as compositional sources, Shaw's depictions of richly verdant landscapes, informed by the
gardens of his own south London studio, are the settings for his uniquely personal meditations on
memory and loss. Multiple topographies, landscapes, histories and life experiences collide in his
new works. Designed by Studio Ard, this publication magnifies the glorious opulence and
exacting detail of Shaw's paintings. Titled in a typeface that recalls memento mori capitals, the
book's design complements Shaw's own embossed motifs.

David Hammons
Hb 22x30cm 176pp col ills £80
This monograph on David Hammons provides critical insight into the elusive mind of an artist who
has consistently wrong footed the art establishment. An extended essay by acclaimed poet,
novelist and playwright, Ben Okri, explores Hammons's critical approach to the cult of artistic
personality, contrasting the artist's cool indifference to his own self-image with classical and art
historical biographies of great painters, from Pliny the Elder to Giorgio Vasari. Leading with a
series of stills from Phat Free (1995/1999), Hammons's only known video work, the publication
documents the artist's output from his body prints to his explicit strategies of opacity and disguise.
It also invites a point of comparison between Agnes Martin's Untitled #9, 1999, a late work in
white and pale primary colours that was included in Hammons's 2014 exhibition at White Cube
Mason's Yard. Designed by (Studio) Jonathan Hares, the monograph spaces out its images at a
rhythm in keeping with Hammons's judicious artistic output.
