Damien Hirst • The Currency Unique Prints, by Pawel on Jan 16, 2023 11:09:40 GMT 1, Up to €7,500 already on Catawiki. Looks like these are going to do well at auction. I hope the auction houses ship in a better tube than the HENI one…

Damien Hirst • The Currency Unique Prints, by Londown 01 on Jan 16, 2023 13:40:28 GMT 1, If you are a physical "Currency" holder, couldn't you just make one of these yourself, only without the signature? Or are there major technical or legal difficulties that I don't see?

Damien Hirst • The Currency Unique Prints, by pumpkintico on Jan 16, 2023 21:52:01 GMT 1, I suppose you could make something similar with your own hi-res file if you knew of a printer who would print that size.
However, these are taken from Hirst’s own 1000 Currency tenders which have now been burned if I’m not mistaken.
And I’m sure I remember reading that they are higher res than the high-res file that Currency owners could download prior to burning. So perhaps image quality would be compromised if you tried to do something similar yourself.
Looking forward to seeing some framed examples soon.
Pretty sure that these will be in high demand at auction over the next few years. I’m planning on keeping mine though.

So if a print (a giclee) goes for this much, the original Currency should go for at least 10x more, right? I wouldn’t say that’s the case. I get your point; it’s an original vs a print, but the UP is much larger and a run of only 1000. I’m with you though in that I always view originals as more valuable than prints. That being said, for those that plan on framing and hanging, the print may be a much more powerful piece on the wall than a Currency original. |

Call it genius, call it marketing… I’m lucky to have the original but I guess for the ones that missed it, it might be a great plan B…

Damien Hirst • The Currency Unique Prints, by cryptoowly on Jan 22, 2023 21:02:25 GMT 1, It's based on the currency originals that Damien hirst destroyed. So not a copy of something another buyer has. I am amazed the first one sold on Catawiki for 8k which isn't far off the originals. To it's credit it's bigger and lower numbers. I guess that's what drives the market. Plus great quality - large zoom. It's also a play on the existing project i.e. originals, nft of original, print edition. Fascinating. Just shocked its that much. Guess we find out with subsequent auctions if it holds that relative value.

You can go to Heni’s site, find Currency #4892, and find out the title/name of the Currency piece your print is derived from.
Useless info tbh, but as a Currency and UP owner, I found it kind of cool to know what Currency piece my print image came from. The degree notation(180 etc)is indicative of what direction/degree the Currency piece was rotated to, to get the image of your corresponding UP; hope that makes sense.

People are free to crap on it. Dont want to be crapped on, resell it for what you paid... Or just allow the crap to come

I may have missed this information. Was there a time scale for the replacement of the damaged UP's after Heni got them back. Cheers I emailed them yesterday as it had been over 4 weeks since I returned mine. ‘Still in production’ and they couldn’t say when they will be delivered. But the 6 weeks initially communicated looks doubtful. |
