Why It Matters
Named for the New York landmark, Plaza (H5-6) adds an American anchor to the H5 group's roster of famous hotels. Its square format, aluminium mounting, and reverse-signed edition of 100 match the rest of the suite, keeping it a coherent piece of a set built for sequential collecting.
Collector Perspective
The New York namesake gives Plaza resonance for US collectors, while set-builders value it as one more H5 title to secure. Availability follows the edition of 100. Verify the reverse signature and numbering and the H5-6 reference, and inspect the Diasec acrylic surface and panel edges for condition.
Historical Context
Part of the 2018 H5 release, Plaza continues Hirst's approach of themed Giclée suites issued as archival aluminium-mounted objects. The hotel-naming convention threads luxury and place through the series while each work stays individually catalog-referenced for editioned collectors.
