With the \u003ci\u003eBlack Scalpel Cityscapes\u003c\/i\u003e, Hirst investigates subjects pertaining to the sometimes-disquieting realities of modern life--surveillance, urbanization, globalization and the virtual nature of conflict--as well as those relating to the human condition in general, such as our inability to arrest physical decay. Described by the artist as \"portraits of living cities,\" the series is illustrated in full and accompanied by a comprehensive list of artwork details in this signed limited edition, which features a black zipper down the spine. The volume also includes an essay by Jerry Brotton, author of \u003ci\u003eA History of the World in Twelve Maps\u003c\/i\u003e, and a fictional short story by novelist and arts writer Michael Bracewell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Criteria","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47999613108375,"sku":"9781906967741","price":20958.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781906967741.webp?v=1783601209","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/damien-hirst-black-scalpel-cityscapes-limited-edition-9781906967741","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
