For Sartre, hell was other people; for Damien Hirst, it's the stubbed out ends of cigarettes. A row of mirrored, medicine cabinet shelves have become home to an armoury of crushed cigarettes and Cuban cigars.
Part of Hirst's Utopia series, Hell 2012 captures the contradictions between desire and decline, life and death: all the glamour of the cigarette deleted as these ashy ends litter the medical cupboard.
Hirst's giclee is printed onto 310gsm Hahnemhle Photo Rag Satin paper 310gsm and finished with UV varnish and silver foil block. Dazzling and glossy, the print style artfully juxtaposes the image of the dirty cigarette butts.
From a limited edition of just 55, each one signed and numbered by Hirst himself, Hell 2012 is a rare and unmissable opportunity for the contemporary art collector.
