Why we chose this artwork for you

---

Our specialists have worked closely with Damien Hirst's artworks, and believe Psalm 116 is an excellent candidate for this exclusive investment opportunity.

Psalm 116: Dilexi, quoniam (Latin for “I loved, because”) is an example of Hirst’s signature use of butterflies in his art. The artist incorporated 400 butterfly wings onto a glossy painted surface.

Hirst's Psalm series is a rare and coveted body of work. Of the 150 individual Psalm paintings, only 27 have ever gone to auction. The remaining 123 Psalm paintings are in Hirst's studio or private collections around the world.

Some versions of Hirst's highly recognizable butterfly paintings have sold for upwards of $2M at auction; works in the Psalm series have sold for $300K+*.

The work has both universal appeal and a large market of potential buyers. Named for Old Testament Psalms, Hirst’s mesmerizing butterfly paintings have been compared to stained-glass windows as well as Hindu and Buddhist mandalas. 

* Past performance of artist's works do not guarantee future results

Damien Hirst is one of the world’s most successful artists...

...and has dominated the art scene since the 1980s.

From massive sharks in formaldehyde to delicate butterfly wings on household paint, Damien Hirst is famous for his artworks inspired by nature.

In 2007, Hirst's work Lullaby Spring sold for $19.1M, the second most expensive work by a living artist at the time. Just one year later, he sold a series of new works at Sotheby’s that totaled $200M. Both his old and new works are fixtures at auctions each year and consistently exceed estimates.
