Why It Matters
As H4-3, Garden Of Dreams rounds out the visible H4 trio, sharing the wide 92 x 126 cm landscape format and edition of 75 plus 5 APs. Its lyrical title extends the suite's move away from the hotel-named H5 works, and the tighter edition size gives it scarcity relative to Hirst's hundred-run releases.
Collector Perspective
Collectors pursuing the H4 group value Garden Of Dreams as one of three tightly editioned landscape works, appealing to both set-builders and buyers seeking a single large statement piece. Confirm the numbered and signed marks and the H4-3 reference, and assess condition via the Diasec acrylic face and aluminium panel edges.
Historical Context
Released in the 2018 H4 suite by Heni Productions in the Serpentine context, Garden Of Dreams reflects Hirst's continued output of archival aluminium-mounted Giclée editions. Its evocative title and wide format place it among his more ambitious editioned wall works, consistent with his emphasis on resolved, saturated imagery.
