Recent Instagram post by Hirst confirming a new release of canvases in multiple different sizes in July.

Doubtful of a large edition as a consequence, but they're lovely imo. Going to be fairly hard to obtain (although not exclusive as Insta post would suggest lottery), and probably bloody expensive.

Doesn't look like they're related to the blossom originals teased a few weeks ago. Coincidence they're dropping the month of the final Currency burn? I think it's doubtful but who knows.

Doesn't miss a trick old Damien, that canvas he put up was titled loyal. Loyal to the NFT holders?

Timing is interesting

"Paper veils. Dropping in july. I will keep you posted."

Paper. Works on paper.

Where did you get:  "confirming a new release of canvases in multiple different sizes in July"

An original only available to currency holders to buy would be very interesting

[Ravnur 2020]

Or an original only available to those who hold the physical? Why not?

[Thank You]

Because he gets a cut of nft resells

I don’t think that’s possible. Even if 50% of Currency owners burn for the physical, that leaves 5,000 originals to be made for the holders. That would take years to make, just like the Currency did. That video showed perhaps 50 paintings, and his back is already killing him. No way he or his team are doing thousands of those by end of July.

Maybe a release of different tiers: NFTs, prints, small originals, bigger originals and you get reward for “staking” your nft for however long etc. again, we’re all just guessing and I guess we’ll know by July.

Why only currency holders? Maybe the Empresses also get involved.

Because with Emperesses there’s no decision to be made; it’s not an nft, it’s an nft deed. There’s no experiment; it’s a physical piece of art that has an nft deed attached to it so you don’t have to ship it if you sell it. Meaning, those that are “holding” aren’t doing anything but postponing the inevitable shipping of their physical Emperesses, whereas Currency holders are forfeiting the physical art for the nft. 

If you don’t claim it in 3 years, you aren’t left with an nft; you’re left with a worthless nft deed that has nothing attached to it; you forfeit your artwork if you pass the deadline, whereas the currency is a true nft. I think a lot of people don’t know the difference, and may be in for a rude awakening if they don’t claim their physical Emperesses before the deed expiration. They’ll literally be left with nothing.

Maybe it’s just completely separate

If you take the time to go through his Instagram history you’ll see that he has posted many, many pictures of paper veils before. I can’t conclude if they were all different paintings from different sessions. I remember trying to figure out how many there were in one particular picture and I remember that they were in the hundreds.

I can't see DH limiting his market to only Currency NFT holders. I think it is more likely to be a timed drop of originals, much like Heni did with Brian Clark's Vespers series.

[charliec2701]

Are people seriously saying who’s getting these and who’s not without a scintilla of actual fact ?

This site really is the gift that just keeps giving !!!

That’s a valid point. I was under the assumption that these were just recently created.

Lots of Veils on view.

Fingers crossed there will be plenty of these. 🤞

And like I said there appear to be TONS in two different sizes.

Yes I remember getting pretty excited by this and it was about 9 months ago. Which means we’ve probably got to wait at least nine months before he decides to talk to us about those paper blossoms

While some people might thing it's a cash grab, I must applaud the idea.
I'm all in for artist creating editioned original works. Currency for 2k now these and apparently more in the future. What's not too like.

I wish more artists did that.

I wonder if these will follow the same model as the currency, but higher price, lower edition? He did post a video a couple weeks back of him scootin around where it looked like their were 100's of pieces. 

Certainly I don't expect 10k of them being done, plus obviously the price will be much, much higher. 
It's all going into be quite interesting. If they let's say 20k, the print market should take a hit. If much higher, how many people will be able afford them?

Owning a Hirst original would be awesome. I thought I'd be content with the Currently but not sure anymore.

Anyone know what’s going on with these?

[sweetmimsy]

I think currency nft holders past the burn date might get first dibs on these, or better? If Heni & DH want to keep the currency experiment going (and they are I would posit quite heavily invested) they will need something "big" to support the project around August time.

Pretty sure Damien will have something special lined up to reward long term currency holders who do not exchange. I do think he will also reward holders (post burn) with early access to future editions be that prints or more NFTs

All speculation, other than we will know more in July.
