About this work
Lauric Acid Butyl Ester is a vibrant woodcut from Damien Hirst's renowned spot painting series, translated into print form. Created in 2011, this intimate work measures 9 1/2 by 11 inches and demonstrates the artist's exploration of systematic color arrangements through traditional printmaking techniques. The woodcut medium lends a distinctive tactile quality to Hirst's characteristic precisely placed circular forms, with the relief printing process adding depth and texture that distinguishes it from his painted iterations. This work represents an accessible entry point into collecting one of contemporary art's most significant figures. Hirst's spot paintings have achieved iconic status in the art market, with examples held in major museum collections worldwide. The 2011 production date situates this piece within a mature phase of the artist's career, offering collectors a refined example of his conceptual approach to color, pattern, and seriality at a more intimate scale than his monumental canvases.
