About this work

Racing Green/Raven Black Skull is a striking 2009 foil block print by Damien Hirst, executed in two colours on heavyweight Arches 88 archival paper. The work features Hirst's iconic skull motif rendered in lustrous racing green and raven black foils, creating a bold interplay between memento mori symbolism and luxury aesthetics. The foil blocking technique produces a distinctive metallic sheen and dimensional quality that shifts under light, elevating the piece beyond traditional printmaking. Each impression is signed and numbered by the artist, measuring 28 3/8 by 20 1/8 inches. This work exemplifies Hirst's enduring fascination with mortality and the relationship between death and desire, themes central to his practice since the 1990s. As a numbered edition from one of contemporary art's most influential figures, it offers collectors an accessible entry point into Hirst's visual vocabulary while maintaining investment-grade appeal. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
