Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Fluffy Pillow on Mar 31, 2023 22:46:21 GMT 1, I feel like the conversation is going a bit off the rails. Damien Hirst (his team) made the designs, algorithm and put together the whole project. You are literally just picking different colors as an input to the project - you are not creating the art. If shrigley allowed you to choose the color of a duck or cat on his 3K print I am sure everyone would be psyched.
Nope. . Shrigley has been finger painting for a long while with his style of adding a popular saying or quote. Hirst and Heni just dropped down to his level to see who is going to bite for profits based on adultish kids art. Youโve been had.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Blue on Mar 31, 2023 23:11:24 GMT 1, Another thing to add to the quality debate is that the colours used in the algorithms are RGB, whereas the images will be printed using CMYK.
Certain colours (particularly the bright electric ones) look ace on screen but can often look washed out in print without the use of spot colours/pantones or real quality care and attention to the repro.
Either way, im interested to see in the flesh...

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by LJCal on Mar 31, 2023 23:18:24 GMT 1, If these were 1,500 USD for 1m diameter I would be vaguely tempted, but paying more than that for a signed poster is dumb and 6,000 USD + VAT/taxes for the only size worth having is a blatent piss take. You can get one of the dedicated actual spin paintings of 52cm for around ยฃ5-8k which I know is not for everyone but beats having a machine generated print out on photo paper behind reflective acrylic. If you really like these and want one for your home then crack on but please don't expect big returns, I'd be surprised if these were selling at more than cost in a year or two, caveat: I said something similar on the Virtues so as they say don't take investment advice from punters on the forum.

This gives much smoother gradient transitions and can reproduce the much wider colour Gamuts of RGB colour models |

But comparing it to a signed poster is way off. This is effectively a unique piece signed. I'd pay โฌ3k for the VL, not โฌ6k. Just because of how poorly the Empresses seem to have performed price-wise.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by Jules Leotard on Apr 1, 2023 7:00:25 GMT 1, Spin paintings always struck me as county fairish. Have your fun! Donโt forget the corn dogs. I have to agree with this 100%. I never wanted to say it out loud. I enjoy Damien Hirst as a personality, but he has to be the laziest f'ing artist that ever lived. I mean quantifiably. I remember this sort of thing from when I was ten at fairs. He upped the spin painting game from there about 10% and I have seen street artists do some wild things with this concept. My kids and I made a spinner 5 or 6 years ago and made some that weren't altogether lower quality. We could have used more dynamic colors...
I feel that at this stage in his career, Damien Hirst's work (due to his reputation and resources) should be knocking my socks off. Instead he is just coasting along until he makes it to the great unknown using advanced printers and an army of assistants.

I think greed has taken over his mind on this one
Coming to a eBay near you soon I think you will need to Chuck your empressโs in as a free gift when you flipping these
Good luck to the flippers you will need it as they was not popular first time around
Sorry if I made your bottom lip quiver

Blown up photos of DH Currencies.
Blown up photos of Invader pieces signed on a sticker in the back.
Do it yourselfxDH printouts with an expensive signature.
