Damien Hirst H18 • The Kaleidoscopes , by kfroms on Oct 25, 2024 17:11:35 GMT 1, I generally do not buy any of these di-bond mirrors BUT there is something off with these - they really should have been square or round OR the cropping should have been different so its not chopped off at the top and bottom.
Knowing that the next drop is only a few weeks away I would sit this one out.

I’m checking with Heni if buyers can opt to not pay the VAT and leave in the vault, and pay if released into UK. I know they do this on other releases. $1,000 is a lot of money to absorb if you end up catapulting it abroad after 6 months

Please note that although VAT is not charged at the time of purchase, when withdrawing an artwork from the Vault, you will be charged VAT on the initial purchase price if you are then shipping that artwork to the UK. You will be contacted by your local customs or shipping regarding paying VAT and any applicable duties if you are shipping your artwork from the Vault to outside the UK.

Damien Hirst H18 • The Kaleidoscopes , by its all about me on Oct 26, 2024 12:41:08 GMT 1, I have to admit, I quite like the white one. And the yellow one has a certain appeal. I generally don't like dibond stuff but if they made these in a circular dibond I bet they would look amazing on the wall. A wasted opportunity.

Damien Hirst H18 • The Kaleidoscopes , by LJCal on Oct 26, 2024 20:17:01 GMT 1, After much deliberation i think Im going to pass, I'm pretty sure most people who apply will get one, if they were square or circle I would have applied but ultimately I think the landscape format will hold these back and I don't see this as something I'd want on the wall. I also think at a total of 1000 the edition is a little too large for this market. Shame because some of the colourways are really nice and different to previous releases.

Why are there zero reflections on all of these photos?
Have they improved? Is it a new way of displaying/ lighting these? Or are the photos edited?

Damien Hirst H18 • The Kaleidoscopes , by pamplemousse on Oct 28, 2024 11:40:21 GMT 1, Personally think these are beautiful and not a single reason to complain. This is the first time in a while you can get a limited edition butterfly work at a reasonable price, that looks great and of a decent size!
Fair enough if you don't like the medium but at least they are diasec mounted rather than just laminated so will feel substantial and have presence on the wall. Would like to point out that these are printed on paper then mounted to acrylic and dibond after. The blue one should have been left out as similar to The Aspects and Water from The Elements imo.
I do agree Hirst churns out a lot of work but I am starting to see him more of an artist come designer who releases collections like Eames, Vitra, Hay and so on...
One could argue these are square prints that have been stretched wider to give more of the image rather than cropped. Some cropped versions below for comparison...

Are you implying that Alexander 88 is here on an undercover mission for HENI?

Are you implying that Alexander 88 is here on an undercover mission for HENI? Not at all. If you zoom in to the photos, you can see the reflections. There's some sort of door in this one maybe with an Exit sign and an arrow pointing down. Also, if you squint, I think I see a leprechaun.
Wait, no. That's Damien.

Damien Hirst H18 • The Kaleidoscopes , by ashj52 on Oct 29, 2024 23:21:53 GMT 1, I popped into Soho today and had a look at them. They are interesting, I am on the fence due to the price but am swaying more towards the white one as the others are almost too vibrant and could be somewhat overbearing.

Diasec means it’s face mounted on to acrylic glass - it’s a more expensive process and should enhance colour and depth (and reflection…).

Not sure why, but I think the landscape format works well, probably even better than the other two:
maybe the square makes them look to neat and tidy; and, well, the tondo really has been out of fashion since the year AD 1510

I just can't decide. If he hadn't released anything for 6 months I would have gone for it for sure.
