Damien Hirst – I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life Everywhere, With Everyone, One to One, Always, Forever, Now
1st Edition Hardcover – Booth-Clibborn Editions, 1997

A landmark publication in contemporary art, this book stands as one of Damien Hirst’s most ambitious and immersive works in print. Bold, chaotic, and unapologetically Hirst, I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life... is both a monograph and an artwork in itself—featuring an explosive mix of imagery, pop-up elements, die-cuts, fold-outs, and layered textures. It blurs the line between artist book and conceptual object.

Published in 1997 by Booth-Clibborn Editions, this first edition brings together Hirst’s early installations, sculptures, drawings, and writings with dynamic graphic design by Jonathan Barnbrook. It is both a collector’s item and a time capsule of the 1990s British art scene.
