H20-9 Emotion (Timed Edition)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Emotion is the ninth work (H20-9) in Damien Hirst's 2026 H20 series for HENI Editions, and the largest in the group at 198 x 132 cm. A giclee direct print on aluminium composite panel, its title names emotion itself rather than a specific feeling, functioning as an umbrella or capstone to the named panels that precede it.

Why It Matters
Where the earlier H20 works each name a distinct feeling, Emotion steps up to name the category as a whole, and its notably larger scale reinforces that summarizing role. It reads as the conceptual keystone of the series, the panel under which the individual emotions are gathered.
Collector Perspective
Its expanded 198 x 132 cm scale sets Emotion apart as the marquee piece of the set, a natural centerpiece for collectors building the full group. The larger format and its role as the series' summarizing title make it the standout panel for those seeking a single anchoring work.
Historical Context
Consistent with Hirst's HENI edition practice of concept-led suites, the H20 series culminates in this oversized panel. The 2026 direct-to-panel giclee production carries through the entire group, and Emotion demonstrates how scale is used to signal hierarchy within a structured edition set.
