H20-7 Gratitude (Timed Edition)
Summary
Gratitude, the seventh entry (H20-7) in the 2026 H20 series, is a giclee direct print on aluminium composite panel at 120 x 96 cm from HENI Editions. Named for a reflective, appreciative emotion, it takes its place among the warmer feelings catalogued across Hirst's emotional panel suite.
Why It Matters
Gratitude broadens the series toward introspective, appreciative territory, distinct from the reactive or expectant emotions elsewhere in the group. Its inclusion underscores Hirst's effort to assemble a wide emotional vocabulary rather than a narrow set of dramatic feelings.
Collector Perspective
Collectors value Gratitude as one of the more resonant, sentiment-forward titles in the roster, whether displayed alone or as part of a completed set. The 120 x 96 cm aluminium format keeps it display-ready, a practical draw for buyers hanging rather than archiving their editions.
Historical Context
Aligned with Hirst's HENI edition practice, the H20 series organizes multiples by a single unifying concept. The 2026 release uses direct-to-panel giclee printing throughout, and Gratitude demonstrates how the format renders a reflective emotion as a durable contemporary object.

About the Artist
Damien Hirst (born 1965, Bristol) is a British artist and the most prominent figure of the Young British Artists (YBAs). Rising to fame in the late 1980s and 1990s, he built a practice around mortality, science, religion, and beauty — from formaldehyde-preserved animals to his Spot, Spin, and Butterfly (Kaleidoscope) series. Hirst is also one of the most prolific printmakers in contemporary art, releasing extensive signed editions through his own science-led studio and, more recently, the HENI imprint. His work has commanded record prices and defined the market for blue-chip contemporary editions.
Collecting Damien Hirst at Gauntlet Gallery
Which Damien Hirst prints should I collect?
Signed, numbered editions from his signature series — Spots, Butterflies/Kaleidoscope, Spins, Cherry Blossoms, and skull works — are the collectible core. Look for strong condition and the artist's pencil signature. Gauntlet Gallery prioritizes complete, well-documented impressions.
How is a Hirst print authenticated?
We sell Hirst works with documented provenance and the edition's signature and numbering; many carry HENI or studio documentation. Each piece is photographed exactly as it ships, including signature and edition details.
What drives value?
Series and image (iconic Spots and Butterflies lead), edition size, format and scale, condition, and provenance all drive value. Hand-signed, low-numbered, and diamond-dust or foilblock works command premiums.
