Damien Hirst (1965) - Nobody should hear it

We are proud to offer "NOBODY SHOULD HEAR IT" (No. 6274), a unique original artwork by Damien Hirst from his groundbreaking project, The Currency. A Survivor of the "Great Burn" This artwork is a piece of art history. Originally part of a collection of 10,000 works, owners were forced to make a choice: keep the physical painting or keep the NFT. If the owner chose the NFT, the physical painting was destroyed. 4,851 physical works were burned. Only 5,149 physical works including this one survived. This piece is one of the "survivors," making it rarer than the original launch suggested. The Artwork Created in 2016, this work features Hirst’s iconic spots created with enamel paint on handmade paper. The paper was manually cut, producing spontaneous imperfections and asymmetries that give the work its unique character. Machine Learning Analysis: Each work in this series was cataloged by a neural network algorithm that analyzed specific features such as paint density, drips, texture, and weight. No two works are identical. Authenticity and Security Just like actual currency, this artwork is protected by state-of-the-art anti-counterfeiting measures. Hand Signed and Titled: Located on the verso (back) by Damien Hirst. Watermark: Visible when held to light. Holographic Label: Featuring a portrait of the artist. Microdot: Unique identifier. Dry Stamp: Embossed with the artist's logo. Specifications: Dimensions: 21.5 x 30 cm (approx. 8.5 x 11.8 inches). Condition: Mint condition. Never framed. Movement: Contemporary / Abstract / Conceptual Art.
