The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

First Look: Damien Hirst Retrospective, Tate Modern

With a huge Damien Hirst retrospective going on show at Tate Modern on 7 April, 2012, here’s a sneak preview of what we can expect to see from the famous YBA. The retrospective comes mid-career for Hirst, who is now the richest living artist and just finished a worldwide show with the Gagosian.

 

In his earlier years, Hirst was known for saying he would never be shown in the Tate, saying “Museums are for dead artists… You’d never get me into that place,” so this abrupt turn around has caused many to speculate that the 46-year-old is having a bit of a mid-life crisis.
