Why It Matters

The butterfly is among Hirst's most recognizable and enduring symbols, standing for the fleeting nature of life and the romance of death. Here the insects appear caught mid-celebration, their color undimmed even in death, distilling the artist's central theme of beauty coexisting with mortality.

Collector Perspective

The near-square, five-foot format gives this print exceptional wall presence, and the edition of 75 sits below his larger screenprint runs. As an Other Criteria exclusive built around Hirst's signature butterfly, it appeals to collectors seeking an iconic, celebratory image rather than his darker pharmaceutical work.

Historical Context

Butterflies run through Hirst's practice from his early gloss and specimen works onward, functioning as what he calls a universal trigger for ideas of life, death, and love. 'Love Is All You Need' continues that lineage in editioned form, framing the motif as an emblem of enduring beauty.
