Damien Hirst Print Advice Needed , by Howard Johnson on Apr 25, 2015 21:37:21 GMT 1, So I'm looking to purchase my first Damien Hirst print. My father is a physician so his prints depicting the glorification of pills and the pharmaceutical industry really speak to me. I was wondering if anyone on here can recommend a good one to start with. "Six Pills" seems to be the most affordable option, but the fact that its an inkjet print kind of makes me worry about the quality. Is it worth it to save up for "Utopia," "Pharmaceuticals," or another similar print run? Finally, where would be the best place to look for one of these? Does Other Criteria offer the lowest possible price point? Thanks in advance for your help!

Damien Hirst Print Advice Needed , by Howard Johnson on Apr 25, 2015 22:24:51 GMT 1, Thanks Ruggs! That apostles series is sweet as well. I hit up Paul Stolper a few days ago so hopefully I'll be hearing back soon. Have people generally had good experiences buying from them?

I dunno if Other Criteria carries the print you are looking for, but I have had very positive experiences when dealing with them for Hirst prints and have typically gotten MUCH better prices when contacting them directly (rather the only ordering via online), I am not sure if this merely dumb luck or their business model.
Also the prints look soooo freaking good in person. My recent purchase was done with a little hesitance (was for my wife), but once I saw it in person I was sold hook, line and sinker.... However I have not seen any of the pharmaceutical prints in person.

The cure prints look fantastic in person and Paul stolper are great to deal with. Their framing is top notch via darbyshire but expensive, you can find similar quality elsewhere eg with Pauli.
