Very rare Hirst 'mini-installation' edition created in conjunction with the artist's first solo exhibition at a public gallery ('Internal Affairs', Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 1991). Titled 'Relationships', the 4 piece complete work consists of the centre-piece drinking glass which is to be filled with water to any height upon which the original ping-pong ball is meant to float (or not). The work is also accompanied by the original hand-signed and numbered certificate from the small editon of only 125 examples, showing the different ways one can display the work. The original cylindrical encasement used to contain each element is also present. Considered a very early, vintage Hirst edition, rarely seen with all four parts present and perfectly preserved.
