About the artwork
Created in 2025,Untitled Spot B applies Damien Hirst’s serial approach to color and repetition. The controlled edition format makes variation,surface and production central to the way the image is read. Its place within the artist’s broader practice should be confirmed against the accompanying edition label and certificate.
The stated technique is print in colors. Its material and format remain integral to the presentation. 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 spot format is one of Hirst’s clearest investigations of seriality,authorship and controlled difference. Regular spacing and repeated circular units suggest rational order,while color prevents the system from becoming mechanically neutral. This tension between pharmaceutical precision and sensory pleasure has made the spot works central to his wider practice.
Across Damien Hirst’s broader output,Untitled Spot B 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.
