Why It Matters
Named for the messenger archangel, Gabriel carries the same lush, layered blossom imagery that made Hirst's Cherry Blossoms one of his most warmly received painting series. As the fourth Archangel, it anchors the complete set, and its horizontal format echoes the sweeping scale of the source canvases in an edition collectors can actually live with.
Collector Perspective
Collectors value the front-facing signature and numbering and the finished walnut framing. With only 100 numbered impressions and 20 APs, the print is genuinely limited. Gabriel is frequently pursued to complete an Archangels quartet, giving it appeal to set-builders while also standing on its own as a single, decisively titled Cherry Blossom work.
Historical Context
The Cherry Blossoms series marked Hirst's celebrated return to gestural painting, shown at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2021. The 2024 Archangels editions extended that body of work into HENI-published prints, assigning each of the four archangel names to a distinct blossom composition and framing the cycle in devotional terms.
