Damien Hirst Trivia Questions

The work split a cow and calf into halves in separate tanks. It won the Turner Prize, cementing his status as a leading Young British Artist.

This is his most famous work, created in 1991. It features a tiger shark preserved in a tank of formaldehyde, exploring mortality.

This 1990 installation featured a real cow's head, flies, and an insect-o-cutor, symbolizing life and death cycles. It shocked audiences.

Hirst conceptualized the spot paintings but rarely painted them. His assistants followed strict color and size rules, making them factory-like productions.

The skull is a platinum cast of an 18th-century skull, not a real one. It's covered in over 8,000 diamonds, but the base is a replica.

No such piece exists. The closest is 'For the Love of God', a skull. The heart rumor likely conflates his diamond works with macabre themes.

Hirst was appointed a CBE in 2012, not knighted. The knighthood rumor persists due to his fame, but he has never received that honor.

This is a myth. Hirst did use animal parts, but no such dartboard exists. It likely stems from his series of preserved animals in unexpected contexts.
