Lot description
A very rare and highly sort after UNIQUE MULTIPLE drawn on and signed by Damien Hirst.

A custom printed skateboard deck ('9 Spots' deck), with stamped signature verso, produced by Supreme (U.S.A.). This work bears a highly finished and dramatic original signed drawing of a skull by Damien Hirst created using thick black marker pen. It is one of a series of 40 such works which were produced by the artist between 2009 and 2011.

The work combines arguably two of Damien Hirst's most iconic images – Spots and the human Skull. Hirst's fascination with spots began in 1986 - 19 years later he created his famous diamond encrusted skull – For the Love of God – which forms the basis for the unique drawing which appears on this skate deck. The combination of both these elements in one new work has resulted in a truly unique and iconic work by one of the most celebrated artists of recent times.
