Provenance:A private Collector. Purchased directly from Heni Editions.
Footnote:The Secrets by Damien Hirst is a series of eight prints which depict flourishing gardens after works from Damien Hirst’s series 'The Secret Gardens Paintings'.
The works "mark a natural evolution in Hirst’s own practice, and his long engagement with the tension between realism and abstraction." Hirst said that he wanted the works “to feel like the hope and futility we get when we try to control nature.”
The Secret Gardens Paintings were first shown at Frieze London in 2023 to mark the 20th anniversary of the fair. A selection of the paintings were on view at Château La Coste in March 2024 for a major exhibition of Hirst’s sculptures and paintings, titled ‘The Light That Shines’.
