Aurous Iodide, 2009
Silkscreen with gold glitter
38 5/8 x 29 7/8 in 98 x 75.9 cm
Damien Hirst's Aurous Iodide from 2009 exemplifies the artist's celebrated spot painting series translated into silkscreen with the addition of gold glitter. Measuring 38 5/8 by 29 7/8 inches, this work features Hirst's signature arrangement of precisely rendered circular forms against a pristine ground, elevated by the luminous quality of gold glitter that catches light and adds dimensional depth. The silkscreen technique allows for crisp edges and saturated color, while the glitter introduces a tactile opulence that distinguishes this piece within the broader spot painting oeuvre. This work represents an important moment in Hirst's exploration of his most iconic visual language, combining his systematic approach to composition with luxurious materiality. Works from this period remain highly sought after by collectors and institutions worldwide, with Hirst's spot paintings achieving exceptional results at auction and representing a cornerstone of contemporary British art.
