Lot Essay

"Shortly after publishing , Hirst decided to re-edition the skulls and diamond skull in one combined series with the butterflies [.] For the latter he worked on a completely new set of colours. This was published by Paragon in a portfolio box designed by the artist, with typography by Yuki Shima at Science Ltd. The title continues the theme of mortality, memory and contemplation." (Charles Booth-Clibborn, , p. 324)
