H14-3 Tolerance (Timed Edition)
Summary
H14-3 Tolerance is a 2024 HENI timed edition from Damien Hirst's H14 series. It is a laminated Giclee print on aluminium composite panel measuring 120 x 93 cm. Offered as a timed edition, its final run size reflected demand during a fixed sales window rather than a pre-set cap, following HENI's established release approach for Hirst editions.
Why It Matters
Tolerance is the third of the H14 virtue titles, extending the series' meditation on values and states of mind. The large laminated panel gives the work a crisp, contemporary finish and imposing wall presence. As a concept-driven title within a cohesive eight-part set, it appeals to collectors interested in the thematic architecture of Hirst's HENI output.
Collector Perspective
Scarcity for Tolerance is defined by its timed-edition count from the release window, so demand at launch shaped how many exist. The durable aluminium composite support and 120 x 93 cm scale make it a substantial hanging work. Collectors assembling the full H14 sequence will treat Tolerance as a necessary component of the complete series.
Historical Context
HENI's timed-edition model, established through The Currency, lets collector demand determine the size of a release. The H14 series brings that mechanism to large panel prints. Hirst's use of abstract virtue titles continues a career-long engagement with meaning and belief that spans his pharmaceutical, butterfly and blossom bodies of work.

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.
