HENI is proud to present The Vespers by Sir Brian Clarke, 12 limited edition prints and the second collection drawn from Clarke’s pivotal Vespers watercolours. These works are part of a series of prints conceived and completed by Clarke in the final months of his life. The rest of the prints are planned to be released over the next few years.

HENI is committed to celebrating and recognising Brian’s legacy.

The Vespers works are Giclée prints on Cotton Smooth Rag, presented in oak frames with UV-protected acrylic glass. Six of the artworks measure 130 x 90 cm and six measure 90 x 130 cm (framed). Each print is from an edition of 50 (+ 12 APs) and priced at $2,000 (plus applicable taxes). All works are numbered and hand-signed on the front by the artist.

The editions are available by application until 17:00 BST on 8 September 2025.

The prints are based on watercolours from the Vespers series, a body of work which draws on Clarke’s longstanding romance with poppies. The forms appear at first glance to be poppies, with their thin, green paint-drip stems and vivid scarlet petals, but they quickly take on a more abstract, changeable appearance. Clarke called these mesmerising interactions of light and colour “vespers”. He explained, “Vespers comes from the Greek hespera, meaning evening – they are evening prayers.”

Originally painted through the pandemic, and first exhibited at Phillips, London in 2021, these meditative works capture Clarke’s activity during this turbulent time.

The Vespers does not come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The edition numbers for each of the works are randomly allocated and cannot be chosen. As with all our drops, the APs are not for sale.

HENI aims to dispatch all the artworks within 3 months of the close of the application window. Please note that the exact timing is subject to demand and potential shipping delays. As soon as your order is ready to dispatch, you will receive an email confirmation with the tracking information.
