About the artwork

The Currency (H11) Unique Print is part of Hirst’s H11 series,which converts the spot vocabulary of The Currency into a unique printed arrangement. The composition retains the energetic scatter and varied color of the hand-painted originals while presenting it on a rigid aluminium composite support. Each example is individually configured within the edition,preserving a tension between serial production and singular appearance. The stated technique is unique Giclée print on aluminium composite panel. It measures approximately 100 × 100 cm. The high-resolution printed surface is mounted to a rigid aluminium composite panel,giving the image the physical presence of an object rather than a conventional sheet of paper. Saturated color and edge-to-edge detail reinforce the series’ balance between visual excess and tightly controlled production.

Expert opinion

The H11 series revisits The Currency after its original exchange experiment,preserving the scattered spot field while changing its material and edition status. H11-377 identifies this particular color configuration within a series in which every print is visually unique. The work occupies a productive middle ground between the singular painting and the reproducible multiple. In the context of Damien Hirst’s editions,The Currency (H11) Unique Print is notable because it uses repetition and controlled variation to connect visual pleasure with impermanence.

About the artist

Born in Bristol in 1965, Damien Hirst is one of the UK's most influential contemporary artists. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London, where in 1988 he organized Freeze, an emblematic exhibition that launched the Young British Artists movement. This initiative attracted the attention of influential collectors, including Charles Saatchi, and propelled Hirst onto the art scene. His artistic approach revolves around the themes of life, death and mortality, with works such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (a shark preserved in formaldehyde). His work often marries science and art, exploring the beauty and fragility of human existence through provocative materials and striking installations.Hirst has exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Tate Modern (London) and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale (Naples). In 2008, he defied the art market by auctioning his work directly at Sotheby's, raising £111 million in two days, a record for a living artist.
