Damien Hirst

Selected works

Spots, butterflies and the whole argument about what a painting is for

Hirst made himself the centre of British art at twenty-three by curating Freeze, and has spent the thirty years since testing how much a market will absorb: the shark, the diamond skull, the spot paintings produced in their thousands.
For collectors the question is rarely whether to buy Hirst but which Hirst. The butterfly works, the early spin and spot canvases and the H-series prints all behave very differently at resale.
We source across the range and are candid about which editions we think are overpriced.
