Stunning Collectors Piece
Edition of 3310. Signed by Hirst with a printed number on a label to the verso. One of five prints named after exceptionally influential female rulers: Wu Zetian, N r Jah n, Theodora, Suiko and Taytu Betul. Though legend says that several females had ruled before Suiko (554-628 CE), her rise to power after her brother Sushun was murdered in 592 CE marked a break with tradition of installing male rulers. Suiko is remembered for the Chinese and Korean influences she brought to the country, including the implementation of the Chinese calendar, the arrival of Chinese and Korean craftsmen, and, perhaps most notably, the establishment of Buddhism.
Laminated on aluminium composite, screen printed with glitter. Edition of 3310.

Artist
Damien Steven Hirst; born 7 June 1965) is an English artist, entrepreneur, and art collector. He dominated the art scene in the UK during the 1990s.
In September 2008, Hirst made an unprecedented move for a living artist by selling a complete show at auction and bypassing his long-standing galleries.
The auction raised £111 million ($198 million), breaking the record for a one-artist auction as well as Hirst's own record with £10.3 million for The Golden Calf.
