Why It Matters

Sharing the wide 92 x 126 cm landscape format and edition of 75 plus 5 APs with its H4 companions, Andromeda continues a group defined by scale and relative scarcity. Its mythological, star-referencing title marks a thematic departure from the hotel-named H5 works, giving the H4 suite a distinct character.

Collector Perspective

Collectors value Andromeda for the tighter edition of 75 and its sizable landscape presence, both scarcer than the H5 hotel prints. Each work is numbered and signed; confirm those alongside the H4-2 reference. Being Diasec-on-aluminium, assess condition through the acrylic surface and panel edges rather than paper margins.

Historical Context

Part of the 2018 H4 suite from Heni Productions in the Serpentine context, Andromeda reflects Hirst's ongoing production of archival aluminium-mounted Giclée editions. Its evocative title and wide format position it among his more ambitious editioned wall works of the period, emphasizing resolved, saturated imagery.
