Throw it around belongs to the 2002 portfolio of fourteen etchings in colors titled "In a Spin: The Action of the World on Things, Volume II" - Hirst's first attempt to transform his concept of spin drawings and paintings into the print medium. The complex and lengthy process was characterized by a high degree of physical intervention at every stage by the artist, sometimes to a physically dangerous degree, as the copper plates, fixed to the spin machine, rotated at alarming speeds. Working closely with the printers, Hirst set colour guidelines then made a final selection of etchings, offering a customised portfolio of work that had stretched the etching medium to its limits.
