How do/will people attach these works to the wall? Hopefully that's not too stupid a question.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by Happy Shopper on Feb 3, 2022 20:00:33 GMT 1, Thanks so much for posting these pics! I have to say these look really cheap and tacky and I hate how reflective they are. That and the glitter means its a pass from me. They just look so dull and dark. The above look like some Ann Summers store fixtures or something. Completely different look from the Heni website pics. Saved me a small fortune. Again, thank-you!
Yes, ignore what the person who took the pictures is saying about how nice they look, and judge by their quickly taken phone pictures.

They do but they are a generally lighter image which helps. Darker the image the more it will show up.
Positives for this is the glitter I think, it will add a layer
Negatives is the darker images which will increase the reflectiveness unless you have a great spot or go for museum glass

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by brule on Feb 3, 2022 20:48:25 GMT 1, I was delaying ordering because I still hadn’t decided which one or two I liked best. My light is far from perfect so I’m having second thoughts on ordering at all now.

Even the photos where there is a ton of reflection look great to me, like stain glass windows, people always so negative on here

blue loo
would have been a better colour match with that awesome seat.

Can sonwone tell if also The Virtues and The Aspects prints had this shiny reflective effect? All Henis have the same reflection. That's why most pictures of the diasecs are taken away from a light source from an angle, in a dark room, or on the floor. |

Just ordered Suiko. $3637 shipped.

They look nice at night with a light source underneath and in front a bit.

Nice pad but if I can see as much of the reflection as the artwork then it’s a no for me. Interestingly I notice you have it over a radiator. I guess that’s an advantage of this medium at least. Presumably these would fair up much better against heat than a traditional print.

Presumably these would fair up much better against heat than a traditional print. Because it is so big it is the only place for it. The radiator doesn't give off lots of heat straight up like a conventional type 22 one.... and it's not on full anyway |

Perfect framing👌🏻. Is there glass or no glass? I plan on doing the same style framing with my Politeness. I’ll also do the same frame, mat, spacing etc, but in black, with the Suiko I just ordered.
On a side note/question to all, did we ever figure out if framing Virtues in museum/non-glare, glass/acrylic negates the reflection?

I think Suiko with a black mat and frame will look fantastic.

If I buy Suiko I will be doing exactly the same in black. There is no card/paper mat on this. The entire frame and back is made of wood and hand painted. |

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by J0NNY on Feb 3, 2022 22:22:08 GMT 1, Nice one if you are into expensive, red, square mirrors. But then, Heni will for sure start selling gallery lighting pretty soon. And offer a framing option with non reflective acrylic glass. I sound like a broken record but I really do not understand why these are always so terribly glossy. Anyway, happy if others like the look of them.... It does beg the question of why Heni use such glossy acrylic in the first place. At 3.5K a pop, surely they could use something less reflective. It's not difficult to source non-reflective acrylic - or at least less reflective.
I think that if you get the lighting right, the glossy look is much better. Flatter will still have the reflection but look like it’s not supposed to. I think if someone can drop 3k on a timed edition print, they should be able to have the knowledge and the means to be able to use correct lighting to display it.

Nice. I love that there’s no glass, makes it feel and appear like an original as opposed to a print. By chance do you know how your framer mounted it?

I went for museum glass on my Virtues and I do feel it reduces the reflection. That said I think photos capture the reflection more than the eye - if that makes sense. Here’s a shot of mine next to a set of French doors and below a skylight. I never notice any reflection but I can see it on the photo. |

In the right space I’d be tempted by a red frame, like he does for the originals.

That looks 👌🏻. Love how it’s floated and the frame choice is perfect. I really have to make some wall space for mine and get it to the framers. Thanks for sharing, EKAP👊🏻
Love your pup btw; reminds me of Benji!
