Description
Damien Hirst (British b. 1965)
Palais des Papes from the series Cathedral Prints, 2007
silkscreen print with glazes and diamond dust on wove paper, 43/50
signed and inscribed with edition number
1195 x 1195mm
Published by Other Criteria, London.
Note: Modeled after the artist’s Superstition paintings of 2006, these radiating compositions of meticulously arranged butterfly wings create intricate patterns of dazzling shapes and colors that evoke the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals or the tesserae of Byzantine mosaics. By allying the fragility of the butterfly wings with the monumentality of religious art, these prints engage the big existential themes - nature, life, religion - that have defined Hirst’s career.
