In A Spin, The Action of the World on Things Volume II

In a Spin, The Action of the World on Things Volume II is a portfolio of spin paintings by the provocative British artist Damien Hirst, each work numbered 20/68 and signed in pencil, published by Paragon Press, London. The works exemplify Hirst's celebrated spin painting technique, in which paint is applied to a rotating canvas, resulting in explosive, centrifugal bursts of color that feel simultaneously mechanical and organic. This rare edition, one of only 68 examples produced alongside six artist's proofs, represents a significant example of Hirst's ongoing exploration of chance, process, and the raw energy of creation.

Medium
all signed in pencil and numbered 20/68 in pencil on the colophon (there were also 6 artist's proofs), published by Paragon Press, London, all in excellent condition, all unframed, lacking the portfolio.
