Damien Hirst artwork up for grabs at Charterhouse auction
The pieces from the celebrated artist’s 2022 Empresses series are expected to sell for between £8,000 and £10,000 per set at Charterhouse’s first auction of 2026.
The artwork, fresh from HENI, will be sold with certificates and original packaging.
The auction event in Sherborne on Friday, January 2, will also feature many other works of art, books and pieces of decorative art.
Richard Bromell said: “It looks to be a great auction to start 2026 off with.
“The art market continues to remain strong with collectors keen to buy works by leading modern and contemporary artists.”
Other star pieces in the sale include a 1988 Gillian Ayres painting, acquired directly from the artist by its Somerset owner 37 years ago.
The large abstract piece, by the artist who died in 2018 at the age of 88, has an estimated worth of between £13,000 and £16,000.
People interested in joining the bidding war can view the artwork at The Long Street Salerooms in Sherborne from Monday, December 29.
