The best of British is now showing at Taipei Fine Arts

Of course the indisputable star of the show is Damian Hirst. In The Last Supper

series of 13 silkprints, Hirst prints out pharmaceutical labels that he wryly renamed as British pub fare such as corned beef, steak and kidney. Linking antiretrovirals with food may seem morbid, yet Hirst is critically pointing out how heavily-marketed prescription drugs are part of our steady diet.

Another project of the Paragon Press was the publication in 1992 of a group portfolio of silkscreens titled London to showcase young emerging artists such as Gillian Wearing, Anya Gallacio, Matt Collishaw, Cerith Wyn Evans and Darren Almond.

This fine collection of prints, with its UK conceptual base, deals with contemporary issues.
