About this Item

334pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Jonathan Barnbrook and Damien Hirst. With a chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history. Originally published in 1996 by Booth-Clibborn Editions in conjunction with the Gagosian Gallery, "I Want to Spend My Life With You,." was at the time likely the most lavish single trade publication to date on a contemporary artist. Frieze enfant terrible Hirst collaborated with the great Jonathan Barnbrook on its innovative, over the top design; incorporating a number of pop-ups, sliding and movable plates, transparent overlays, die-cut pages, stickers, and two posters. The book reproduces nearly every work created by the artist up to 1997, and is a lasting monument to the Saatchi decade. A brand new, most handsome example of the deluxe edition of the 2005 first 9 ½ x 8 ¼" reduced format printing by Hirst's publishing firm Other CRITERIA limited to one thousand copies NUMBERED (5/1000) AND BOLDLY SIGNED "Damien Hirst" in black marker across the entire title page with everything including its magnifying glass book mark present showing a trivial binding flaw at the lower front hinge.
