Fondazione Prada is supporting leading British artist Damien Hirst in his new charity campaign in aid of Save the Children’s program for education in Italy. Damien Hirst has created four new limited edition prints released on September 15th, 2020 to raise money for Save the Children’s project “Riscriviamo il futuro” (Rewrite the future), which aims to support Italian children from disadvantaged backgrounds who have been affected by school closures during the COVID-19 crisis.
The editions, titled Fruitful and Forever, feature bright, abstract details from Hirst’s new series of Cherry Blossoms paintings. Depicting blossom trees in full bloom, the series is inspired by the works of Pierre Bonnard, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, and the Pointillist Georges Seurat. The new limited edition prints show close-up details of the densely layered and colorful dabs of paint from sections of the large-scale canvases.
The editions are available to buy through HENI Leviathan through September 27, 2020. The number of editions produced will be limited by demand during this time period. Each image is available in two sizes (39 x 39 cm and 78 x 78 cm) and priced at EUR 400 and EUR 1,200 respectively. To purchase the prints, visit leviathan.heni.com.
