H20-1 Love (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Part of Damien Hirst's H20 sequence released through HENI Editions in 2026, Love is a giclee direct print laid onto an aluminium composite panel at 120 x 96 cm. As the opening entry (H20-1) in a titled emotional series, it pairs Hirst's characteristic optical language with a single, plainly named human feeling, presented as a wall-scale object rather than a paper edition.

Why It Matters
The H20 group extends Hirst's long practice of organizing multiples into structured, named sets. Choosing the aluminium-panel format over paper positions Love as a durable, ready-to-hang piece. As the first in the numbered emotional roster, it functions as the anchor entry collectors often anchor a set around.
Collector Perspective
Collectors weigh Love both as a standalone panel and as the lead work in a completable emotional series. The 120 x 96 cm scale reads as a decisive statement rather than a small print. Its aluminium mounting suits open display without additional framing, a practical consideration for those planning to hang rather than store.
Historical Context
Hirst has released editions through HENI for years, frequently in themed runs tied to a concept or emotional register. The 2026 H20 series continues that model, using direct-to-panel giclee printing to translate his image-making into a contemporary, object-based multiple distinct from his earlier paper works.
