Damien Hirst exhibit set for London's Tate Modern

The work of famed English artist Damien Hirst is to be exhibited at London’s Tate Modern.

Renowned for his unusual artistic pieces, the first substantial survey of Damien Hirst’s work held in the UK will run at the gallery from 4 April – 9 September.

Spanning two decades, his works on display will include ‘Mother and Child Divided’ - a four –part sculpture of a bisected cow and calf, ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’- a suspended shark in formaldehyde and ‘A Thousand Years’- where a cow’s head, flies and insect-o-cutor (an insect control system) represent the cycle of life.

It is an exciting opportunity for fans of the controversial artist, who first made his name when he and fellow Goldsmiths College students created Freeze, an influential display staged in an abandoned London warehouse in 1988.

Should you be planning a stay in any cheap accommodation in London this spring and summer, be sure to drop by and see work by one of the most talented British artists around.
