The Currency Black Dots is an official premium collector's umbrella by Damien Hirst — produced in collaboration with HENI, Hirst's primary publishing and production partner — featuring a constellation of brightly colored Currency spots digitally printed on the inner lining, a sleek black exterior, and a wooden handle engraved with the HENI logo. One of two digitally printed designs available in this release, The Currency Black Dots umbrella brings the visual language of one of the most celebrated and commercially significant bodies of work in Damien Hirst's practice — The Currency — into a functional object of exceptional craftsmanship, material quality, and collector desirability.
The Currency project, launched in 2021, stands as one of the most ambitious, innovative, and culturally consequential artistic undertakings of Damien Hirst's career — a project in which 10,000 unique spot paintings on paper, each hand-dotted and signed by the artist, were offered as NFTs, with collectors subsequently invited to choose between retaining the digital token or exchanging it for the physical work, with the unchosen version destroyed. The project generated global media coverage, critical debate, and collector enthusiasm on an unprecedented scale, consolidating Hirst's position not only as one of the most commercially significant artists in the world but as one of the most intellectually adventurous and culturally provocative. The spot imagery at the heart of The Currency — drawn from Hirst's decades-long engagement with the Spot Paintings series — carries all the conceptual weight of his broader meditation on value, identity, seriality, and the systems by which human beings assign meaning and worth to objects, images, and experiences.
In The Currency Black Dots umbrella, this iconic imagery is transposed into the inner lining of a premium automatic stick umbrella with a precision and visual impact that is entirely characteristic of HENI's exacting production standards. The contrast between the sleek black exterior and the vivid, chromatically exuberant constellation of Currency spots on the inner lining creates an effect of genuine visual surprise and delight — a private world of color and pattern revealed only to the owner and those close enough to share it. The wooden handle, engraved with the HENI logo, adds a final dimension of craftsmanship and material elegance that elevates this umbrella decisively above the functional and positions it firmly within the tradition of the premium artist's collectible object.
The object is in excellent condition.
