"In the darkest hour there may be light"
Works from Damien Hirst’s Murderme Collection
25 November 2006 – 28 January 2007
Damien Hirst’s groundbreaking and controversial work has made him one of the world’s best-known living artists. From the start of his career, Hirst has adopted the role of curator, organising a series of exhibitions with a group of young British artists who would come to define cutting-edge art in the 1990s. As well as being a producer and a curator, Hirst is also a passionate and obsessive collector of art. Like many artists he began collecting by exchanging works with his friends. Now known as the ‘murderme collection’, this significant accumulation of works spans several generations of international artists. "In the darkest hour there may be light" is the first public exhibition of the Murderme Collection. It offers a fascinating insight into Hirst’s collecting acumen and personal interests, as he says “I always think collections are like a map of a man’s life”.

ROBERT ROSENBLUM 1927-2006
"For many, Rosenblum’s Cubism in the Twentieth Century was the very first tome they read about modernism. His subsequent academic and curatorial career was a daily denial of inclement Greenbergism: Exalt kitsch! Embrace realism! Victory to the vulgar! Only Rosenblum could vindicate the outré as the highest expression of good taste." Charlie Finch
