H14-8 Knowledge (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
H14-8 Knowledge closes 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 demand within a fixed window rather than an advance cap, consistent with HENI's release model.

Why It Matters
Knowledge is the eighth and final H14 title, capping the virtue sequence with one of its weightiest concepts. The laminated aluminium panel gives the work a sharp, rigid finish at a commanding 120 x 93 cm scale. As the closing title, it holds particular appeal for collectors completing the series and drawn to its thematic bookend.
Collector Perspective
The scarcity of Knowledge follows from demand during its timed release, so launch interest defined how many exist. Collectors value the durable aluminium composite support and large-format presentation. Positioned last in the eight-title set, Knowledge is often the piece that finishes a complete H14 collection, adding to its desirability among set-builders.
Historical Context
The timed-edition approach Hirst refined with HENI on The Currency lets demand set a release's size. H14 extends that to large panel prints. Hirst's use of abstract virtue titles reflects his enduring fascination with meaning, knowledge and belief, ideas that recur across his medicine cabinets, spot paintings and blossom canvases.
