Artist proof woodblock print, "Nopaline" by Damien Hirst (British, b. 1965). Dimensions of print alone: 21 in. x 21 in. Introduction to Hirst by Stephan Reisner: At the beginning there was a dot. Circular, neither too large nor too small, unimposing, coloured. One dot, plain and simple. It stood on the wall of a warehouse in London, an area converted into an exhibition space.
