Damien Hirst falls for AI with new paintings

Damien Hirst is embracing AI with a new collection of artworks. Introducing The Beautiful Paintings, a series of swirly AI-generated pieces, Hirst has posted footage of himself online in which he kisses a canvas and tells the camera: “I love art. Look at this. Oh my God. I really love art.” He strokes another piece and asks: “How can you not love this little cutie?” How much will collectors have to pay? The works, all hand-signed, start at $1,500 a pop.

Physical editions, all hand-signed, start at $1,500 for small version, rising to $6,000 for extra-large 100 cm diameter versions, plus any applicable taxes. Digital only “NFT” versions of The Beautiful Paintings are priced at $2,000 each.
