*APC ART is pleased to present Damien Hirst & Shepard Fairey’s “Beautiful Optimistic Peace and Love Dove Spin Painting (TT3-4),” a giclée print in colors on wove paper, hand signed in graphite pencil by both artists and hand numbered from the edition of 250, published by HENI in 2025 and professionally framed to full archival standard with museum acrylic.*

*This historic collaboration unites two of the most influential artists of the past half century — Damien Hirst, the central figure of the Young British Artists whose work redefined the relationship between art, science, and the market, and Shepard Fairey, the pioneering force who transformed street culture into one of the most powerful visual languages in contemporary art. Each artist represents a movement: Hirst’s conceptual and market-shaping practice that altered the structure of the global art world, and Fairey’s politically charged graphic iconography that brought urban art into the permanent collections of major museums.*

*Hirst’s spin paintings — begun in the 1990s — are among the most recognizable bodies of work in contemporary art, created through a controlled yet unpredictable process in which color is propelled outward in centrifugal motion, collapsing authorship, chance, and mechanical energy into a single image. In this work, that language becomes the ground for Shepard Fairey’s universally recognized peace dove — a symbol rooted in activist history and graphic design, here positioned at the center of Hirst’s explosive chromatic field.*

*The composition operates as a perfect synthesis of both practices: the radiant circular force of the spin painting generates movement and velocity, while the dove — encircled by Fairey’s mandala-like ornamental structure — becomes a stabilizing emblem of unity, resistance, and global optimism. The juxtaposition of Hirst’s visceral, physical color with Fairey’s precise graphic intervention creates a visual dialogue between chaos and control, emotion and ideology, abstraction and symbol.*

*Both artists are among the most widely collected and institutionally recognized figures of their generation. Damien Hirst’s works reside in the permanent collections of the Tate, MoMA, The Broad, Centre Pompidou, and countless other leading museums, and his auction records — including the landmark Sotheby’s sale that fundamentally reshaped the primary/secondary market relationship — remain a defining moment in art history. Shepard Fairey’s work is held in the Smithsonian, LACMA, MoMA, the Victoria and Albert Museum and major private collections worldwide, and his imagery has become part of the global cultural consciousness.*

*HENI’s publication of this edition places it within the most significant contemporary print program of the present moment — a platform that has produced landmark releases with artists such as Hirst, KAWS, and others at the highest level of the market. The strictly limited edition of 250, combined with the dual signatures, positions this work as one of the most desirable cross-market collaborations of recent years.*

*Visually, the work commands space: the high-chroma color field radiates outward with immense energy, while the central dove — rendered in Fairey’s crisp, iconic line — becomes a focal point of calm, hope, and resilience. The circular format reinforces the themes of continuity, unity, and global interconnectedness that define both artists’ practices.*

*This museum-quality example is presented in pristine condition and framed to archival standard. The work is in hand in the United States and ready for immediate installation. We are pleased to advise on placement and collection strategy upon request.*

*An exceptional and historically significant collaboration — a cornerstone acquisition for the most serious contemporary collections and a powerful statement at the intersection of conceptual art and global street culture.*
