H15-2 Uriel
Work Summary & Collector Notes
H15-2 Uriel (2024) is the second print in The Archangels , a four-part HENI series drawn from Hirst's Cherry Blossoms paintings. A Giclée on archival fine-art paper in a walnut frame (60.5 x 152.5 cm), the artwork measures 52 x 144 cm. It is hand-signed and numbered on the front in an edition of 100 plus 20 APs.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: The edition size of each print is limited to 100 (plus 20 APs). The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Uriel extends the Cherry Blossoms imagery into editioned form and continues the archangel-named quartet. Its edition of 100 plus 20 APs makes it one of HENI's scarcer Hirst prints, and its shared format with Raphael reinforces the series' cohesion for collectors pursuing the full set.
Collector Perspective
Like its companions, Uriel ships in an integral walnut frame, an elevated presentation for a print edition. The capped 100 plus 20 APs run signals real scarcity, and the Cherry Blossoms source adds pull. As H15-2, it is central for collectors assembling all four Archangels in matching format.
Historical Context
Hirst's Cherry Blossoms series revived a lush, celebratory mode of painting when it debuted at the Fondation Cartier in 2021. The Archangels transposes that imagery into 2024 HENI editions, pairing blossom motifs with archangel titles to layer sacred iconography over Hirst's exuberant floral surfaces.
