Product description
'The Empresses' (H-10, 2022) marks a new iteration in Damien Hirst's exploration of the butterfly as a symbol of freedom, religion, life and death. The carefully positioned wings seem mobile and their patterns transform, with each print seeming to capture the butterflies in moments of flight in different directions.
Damien Hirst, a poster boy for the Young British Artists who rose to prominence in London in the late 1980s, is one of the most notorious artists of his generation. He has pushed the boundaries of fine art and good taste with sculptures consisting of dead animals immersed in formaldehyde; countless mock paintings that appear to be mass-produced and can sell for millions of dollars; and the exuberantly tacky For the Love of God (2007), a human skull studded with 8,601 diamonds. Through his installations, sculptures, drawings and paintings, Hirst explores themes of religion, mortality and desire.Since 1988, when the artist developed and curated "Freeze," a groundbreaking exhibition of his work and that of his Goldsmiths College colleagues, he has been the subject of major exhibitions at Tate Modern in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. In 2008, Hirst controversially organized "Beautiful Inside my Head Forever," an auction in which he sold his work directly to the public and brought in some $200 million for himself.His individual works have sold for more than $10 million at auctions.
