Why It Matters
Grace continues the H6 quartet's meditation on named virtues, sharing the series' limited edition of 50 plus proofs and its Fondation Beyeler association. That institutional link, combined with genuine scarcity, gives the H6 prints a more prestigious profile than Hirst's open timed editions and makes them attractive to collectors seeking formally authenticated works.
Collector Perspective
At 100 x 100 cm with a reflective Diasec surface, Grace has strong presence and pairs naturally with the other three H6 virtues. With only 60 impressions including proofs, supply is limited. Set-builders should prioritise matching condition across Mercy, Grace, Patience, and Goodness, and check the acrylic face-mount for scratches that are difficult to remedy.
Historical Context
Part of the 2019 H6 series released in connection with the Fondation Beyeler, Grace applies Hirst's decorative print language to the theme of virtue. As H6-2, it follows Mercy in the sequence. The Diasec-mounted aluminium format underscores Hirst's use of durable modern substrates, while the museum tie situates the series in an exhibition context.
