Work Summary & Collector Notes
H14-2 Happiness belongs to Damien Hirst's 2024 H14 timed-edition series from HENI. It is a laminated Giclee print on aluminium composite panel measuring 120 x 93 cm. Released as a timed edition, its run size was determined by orders placed within a set window rather than a fixed advance cap, in keeping with HENI's demand-based edition model.

Why It Matters
Happiness sits second in the H14 sequence of virtue-titled works. The large laminated panel format lends the imagery a bright, resolved surface and museum-ready rigidity. Within a series structured around uplifting concepts, Happiness is among the most emotionally direct titles, giving it clear resonance for collectors drawn to the affirmative register of Hirst's recent editions.
Collector Perspective
The eventual scarcity of Happiness depends on the timed-edition tally from its release window. Collectors appreciate the aluminium composite support for its durability and clean wall presence, and the thematic coherence of the eight H14 titles makes the series attractive to assemble as a group. Happiness has particular appeal as an accessible, positively framed single work.
Historical Context
The timed-edition format Hirst and HENI refined with The Currency reframed how editions are sold, letting demand set the run. H14 carries that model into large panel prints. The virtue-based titling across the series reflects Hirst's recurring interest in belief, feeling and meaning, themes that run through his career from medicine cabinets to butterflies.
