+1 small Fruitful

Like these better than the hearts and rainbows and glad to be helping a good cause!

It's one of those things where if a person says they love it, you'll have to question their sanity and immediately unfollow.

Makes me wonder why Banksy doesn't do a straight up timed release for one of his chosen causes. I know its been said before but imagine the cash he would generate! I get why he doesn't but still....

It's not quite a timed release but the Welcome Mats are about as close as you're going to get.

Take any piece of art , zoom in to a paint splodge and I think you’ll always be disappointed. It doesn’t make sense on any level

If you love the American Abstract Expressionists of the 20th Century, like I do, then it makes perfect sense.  

But I do, however, appreciate that some will disagree.  

I dont believe they created finished art work then sold prints of a zoomed area of paint, did they?

[Pappy Van Sprinkle]

I think they look really nice. I went for the NHS Heni so not sure I need another, but they are good looking.

This is a photography print, right? Can we call this a Hirst work if its a photo of a Hirst work? I supposed you can if he was the photographer. Not sure how that works.

Either way, a nice opportunity to support another charity and put something nice on the wall.

What are those pictures on the floor behind him in the images. Are they cherry blossoms prints done at the same time and same printers? Or are they actual paintings?

Will we be seeing some cherry blossom prints at some point?

So can you buy pants with paint stains ?
Or do the Chinese painters that make his work also need to hand in their clothing when done?

Really like the cherry blossoms on the floor behind him. I’m likely I being ignorant but does anyone know much about them? Are they the paintings done for the Fondation Cartier?

They do look lush - anymore info on them?

I really don’t know I am afraid but they look utterly fantastic. Some more information on what I referenced here:

www.widewalls.ch/magazine/damien-hirst-fondation-cartier

I’m going to see if I can find out more about the ones pictured though.

[elthorno84]

Think these are really awful. Can’t wait for the proper cherry blossoms though.

[thisisthesam]

Very tempted by Fruitful. Don't think I could justify buying both though.

[Deleted]

I’ve gone for a Fruitful - after initially not liking them - they’ve both really grown on me.

I have a suspicion those will be very hard to buy, if and when they’re released.

[Schrödinger's Chat]

Looks like someone has already stuck one on ebay, so if you fundamentally object to giving money to charity you could buy it from them 🤦‍♂️

Don't do that, still 3 days 3hrs and 30 mins to support Save the Children by buying from source.

Think Fruitful is beautiful -

Very similar to the Veil editions at a much lower price point.

Cherry blossoms will be expensive and 0% chance of getting them.

[Eastend Boy 13]

Does anyone know how his NHS editions have fared pricewise since release?

With all due respect, it's not difficult to run a sold items search on eBay.

[hermit1]

Grabbed a small “Fruitful” wanted the large one but don’t have any wall space left!

[sweetmimsy]

Do you reckon the edition sizes will be more or less than the butterfly heart & rainbow ones?

[mj]

I would say less but thats my guess.

[Winter]

I would guess less, Fruitful seems more popular. I reckon it’s quite likely these will go for cost or less on eBay. Great that the charity will do well but not a guaranteed flip.

[joecool91]

It seems Fruitful is the clear favourite - which makes me really curious as to what the edition size will be on Forever

Hard to say. I like the NHS editions more than these. That said, the NHS editions were quite small already and they seem to sell for some profit, so it's possible more people will buy to resell.

[kalm]

I’m thinking I’ll grab one of these discounted on eBay next spring

[Deleted]

I was on the fence on these, however i have decided against. The NHS ones had a story and meaning


I'll change my mind again in about 20 minutes

I know someone there and they have sold at least 7 possible more

And the kids in Italy will receive nothing, but at least you save 50 quid

[eskay]

I was on the fence but pulled the trigger on a small fruitful yesterday. As an abstract fan I love seeing the textures up close, the colours fit perfectly with a room I'm currently decorating, and it's also for a good cause! I'm not fussed about edition size or resale as I like the image.
