I have no idea on the Hirst market, looks like all who done the challenge have been well rewarded!

Sadly, the depth of my pockets and the uncertainty regarding the "prizes" meant I couldnt justify it.
More sadly, turns out I was very wrong.

I had a quick search, but does anyone know of any blogs from people that did the challenge? I'd love to read a few.

Well as every spot is a different colour that means 420 screens!?? Can that be right? No wonder it nearly took a year

No wonder it nearly took a year Some colours have been repeated - its 20 dots across, 21 down - my head starts to fry when I attempt to count the different colours!
The "rules" of a spot print/painting afaik are
1. No two colours are the same
2. Each spot must be the same size
3. Each spot must be the same distance apart from other spots

Pretty sure the same colour can't be repeated at all in the same piece- certainly for the paintings anyway

A plasma tv can do 16million!
No doubt there will be a lot of similar colours but apparently they are all different;
From an article in the Guardian;
"No two spots touch, and no colour is repeated on the same canvas, although some are close as dammit to being the same hue."

Damien Hirst Spot Prints, by Gard on Dec 11, 2012 13:24:31 GMT 1, I think it some repetition on the bigger prints and canvases. But we can agree that it's a massive print and if it is 420 different colors I want it even more.
"a color is rarely repeated on a single canvas; all colors are usually distributed at random; the spaces between the spots are often equal to the diameter of the spots themselves"

Fair enough but this line is in the link you posted!!
"At this moment, a gaggle of his assistants are toiling away on Hirst’s most ambitious iteration to date: a canvas bearing one million spots, each one millimeter in diameter and, amazingly enough, each a different color."
Someone here can tell us for definite but either way there is an enormous amount of time effort and skill gone into these prints. Would have been so easy for him to churn out a small woodblock like those in Manifold this year

Any bigger out there? I know he has larger prints but are these the largest spots??
