Stunning Collectors Piece
Signed by Hirst with a printed number on a label to the verso. One of five prints named after five exceptionally influential female rulers: Wu Zetian, N r Jah n, Theodora, Suiko and Taytu Betul. Theodora is named after the great Byzantine empress who used her intelligence and savvy to create lasting change in the empire. Born into the lowest class of Byzantine society, Theodora (497-548 CE) rose to power in 527 CE following her marriage to Emperor Justinian. She left a significant impact on the region, namely through implementing new religious and social policies. Theodora's power over the empire left many to wonder if it was her and not Justinian that ruled.
Laminated print on aluminium composite, screen printed with glitter. Edition of 3315

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.
