Why It Matters
The Virtues brought Hirst's celebrated Cherry Blossoms into affordable, larger-format editions, translating gestural paint into laminated print. Justice, one of eight titles borrowed from the Bushido code, links Hirst's exuberant blossoms to a framework of moral virtues, giving the series a conceptual spine beyond pure decoration.
Collector Perspective
The timed-edition structure produced varying counts across the eight Virtues; Justice's recorded figure of 1005 sits in the middle of the set. Original HENI release pricing was 3,000 dollars plus VAT. Collectors value the large scale, the aluminium panel's durability, and the label signature. Panel condition and lamination integrity drive desirability.
Historical Context
Hirst's Cherry Blossoms debuted as monumental paintings shown in Paris in 2021, celebrated for their return to gestural, joyful mark-making. The Virtues names each print after a tenet of Bushido, the samurai ethical code, reflecting Hirst's engagement with Japanese aesthetics. Justice anchors this pairing of Western abstraction with Eastern moral vocabulary.
