About this work

Damien Hirst's Diacetoxyscirpenol from 2005 is a large-scale etching that exemplifies the artist's celebrated Spot Painting series translated into works on paper. Measuring 44 by 79 inches, this substantial print features Hirst's signature arrangement of precisely rendered colored circles distributed across the composition with mathematical regularity. The etching process lends a distinctive quality to the spots, with the hand-pulled technique creating subtle variations in texture and depth that differentiate it from the painted iterations, offering collectors an intimate engagement with Hirst's systematic exploration of color, order, and randomness. This work represents an accessible entry point into Hirst's most iconic and commercially successful body of work, appealing to collectors seeking museum-quality prints by one of contemporary art's most influential figures. The Spot works have achieved extraordinary recognition in major institutions worldwide and continue to command strong performance at auction, making pieces from this series particularly desirable for established and emerging collections alike.
