Beautiful Flower Diamond Spin Painting
Summary
Beautiful Flower Diamond Spin Painting (2025) is a giclée print on paper, 103 x 103 cm framed, published by HENI Editions in an edition of 250. Catalogued TT3-2, it is the second image in the Hirst–Fairey collaborative Spin series, fusing Hirst's rotational abstraction with floral and diamond motifs rendered as a symmetrical print.
Why It Matters
The flower-and-diamond motif nods to two recurring themes in Hirst's wider practice, joined here to Fairey's graphic language. As TT3-2, it holds the second slot in a tightly numbered four-part set, and its decorative subject makes it one of the more immediately legible images in the group for new collectors.
Collector Perspective
At 250 copies on paper, this remains a mid-accessibility Hirst edition. The floral diamond imagery reads well framed and photographs strongly, useful for resale presentation. Collectors assembling the TT3 sequence treat this as a required component; solo buyers value it for its ornamental, high-contrast composition.
Historical Context
Flowers and diamonds recur across Hirst's career, from his gloss abstractions to his diamond-themed works exploring value and mortality. This 2025 collaborative giclée channels those symbols through the Spin format and a co-authored graphic treatment, part of HENI's ongoing program of editioning Hirst motifs for a broader print audience.

About the Artist
Damien Hirst (born 1965, Bristol) is a British artist and the most prominent figure of the Young British Artists (YBAs). Rising to fame in the late 1980s and 1990s, he built a practice around mortality, science, religion, and beauty — from formaldehyde-preserved animals to his Spot, Spin, and Butterfly (Kaleidoscope) series. Hirst is also one of the most prolific printmakers in contemporary art, releasing extensive signed editions through his own science-led studio and, more recently, the HENI imprint. His work has commanded record prices and defined the market for blue-chip contemporary editions.
Collecting Damien Hirst at Gauntlet Gallery
Which Damien Hirst prints should I collect?
Signed, numbered editions from his signature series — Spots, Butterflies/Kaleidoscope, Spins, Cherry Blossoms, and skull works — are the collectible core. Look for strong condition and the artist's pencil signature. Gauntlet Gallery prioritizes complete, well-documented impressions.
How is a Hirst print authenticated?
We sell Hirst works with documented provenance and the edition's signature and numbering; many carry HENI or studio documentation. Each piece is photographed exactly as it ships, including signature and edition details.
What drives value?
Series and image (iconic Spots and Butterflies lead), edition size, format and scale, condition, and provenance all drive value. Hand-signed, low-numbered, and diamond-dust or foilblock works command premiums.
