“Love or loathe him, Damien Hirst is the biggest thing in British art since David Hockney, not to mention the richest. Tonight’s unashamed tribute to him coincides with a major new Hirst retrospective at the Tate Modern (which opens on Wednesday). The artist is joined by comedian Noel Fielding for a stroll around the exhibition and a chat about Hirst’s 25-year career, while celebrity friends including Joan Collins, Bono, and Keith and Lily Allen pay their respects.” (Daily Telegraph, 2 April 2012)
