About this work

Damien Hirst's Quene 1-AM from 2004 is a striking etching that demonstrates the artist's mastery of printmaking techniques beyond his more widely known sculptural installations. Measuring 45 by 44 inches, this substantial work showcases Hirst's characteristic exploration of mortality and scientific imagery through the intricate lines and tonal variations achievable through the etching process. The composition reveals the careful control and precision that defines Hirst's approach to mark-making, resulting in a work that balances technical refinement with conceptual depth. As one of the most influential British artists of his generation, Hirst's prints have become highly sought after by collectors seeking accessible entry points into his practice. Works from this period represent a significant moment in his career, following his Turner Prize win and preceding his record-breaking auction successes. This etching offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a museum-quality example of Hirst's graphic work from his mature period. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
