HENI is delighted to present The Kaleidoscopes by Damien Hirst, a series of five limited edition prints that feature the artist’s renowned butterfly motif.
The editions are Diasec-mounted Giclée prints on aluminium composite panel, measuring 85 x 140 cm and priced at $5,000 (plus any applicable taxes). The edition size of each print is limited to 180 + 20 APs, and each work is numbered and hand-signed by the artist on the verso.
The editions are available by application from 24 October until 4 November at 17:00 GMT.
The Kaleidoscopes by Damien Hirst continue the artist’s decades-long exploration of brightly coloured butterfly wings arranged in geometric patterns. The meticulously structured, symmetrical compositions, set against vivid backdrops create a dynamic visual effect, where the butterflies seem to shift and rotate before the viewer's eyes.
Inspired by Victorian tea trays decorated with butterfly wings, Hirst’s butterfly arrangements, not unlike the rows of specimens pinned in Victorian cabinets, invite reflection on the complex relationship between life, death and the desire to preserve fleeting beauty. The Victorian era’s fascination with nature and scientific classification resonates with Hirst's practice, as both draw on the idea of cataloguing and preserving the ephemeral.
All of the Editions will be on display at the HENI Gallery for the duration of the drop. Admission to the gallery is free, with no appointment required.
