Zeitgenössische Kunst – Serielles Unikat, das im Damien Hirst Spin Workshop anlässlich der Ausstellungseröffnung "Requiem" im Pinchuk Art Centre in Kiew im Jahr 2009 entstand. - Das vorliegende Spin Painting stammt aus dem Kontext von Hirst's bekanntesten Werkserien, den Spin Paintings: Flüssige Farbe wird auf eine rotierende Fläche aufgetragen und erzeugt so die charakteristischen Farbstrahlen, die sich mit dem im Ouevre des Künstlers ikonischen Motivs des Schmetterlings verbinden und so ein Bild von Transformation, Fragilität und vitaler Energie erzeugen.
Contemporary Art – Acrylic on sturdy, butterfly-shaped cut-out vellum. Signed on the reverse, with a stamped dedication and the artist's blind stamp. In very good condition overall. - A unique piece from a series created at the Damien Hirst Spin Workshop to mark the opening of the "Requiem" exhibition at the Pinchuk Art Centre in Kyiv in 2009. - This Spin Painting stems from the context of Hirst's best-known series of works, the Spin Paintings: liquid paint is applied to a rotating surface, creating the characteristic jets of colour that merge with the butterfly motif-iconic in the artist's oeuvre-thus evoking an image of transformation, fragility and vital energy.
