H14-4 Wisdom (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
H14-4 Wisdom is part of Damien Hirst's 2024 H14 timed-edition series published by HENI. It is a laminated Giclee print on aluminium composite panel measuring 120 x 93 cm. As a timed edition, its run size was determined by collector orders within a fixed window rather than an advance cap, consistent with HENI's demand-driven release format.

Why It Matters
Wisdom occupies the fourth position in the H14 sequence of virtue-titled works. The laminated aluminium panel presentation delivers a sharp, durable surface at a commanding 120 x 93 cm scale. Among the series' concepts, Wisdom is one of the most evocative titles, giving the print thematic weight for collectors attentive to the ideas animating Hirst's recent editions.
Collector Perspective
The number of Wisdom impressions in existence traces back to demand during its timed release. Collectors favour the rigid aluminium composite support for longevity and clean display, and the eight-title H14 set rewards being collected as a group. Wisdom stands out as a resonant single acquisition within the broader virtue-themed sequence.
Historical Context
The timed-edition approach Hirst pioneered with HENI on The Currency allows the market to set a release's scale. H14 applies that model to large panel prints. The recurring use of abstract virtue names reflects Hirst's enduring preoccupation with belief and meaning, a thread connecting his medicine cabinets, spot paintings and blossom canvases.
