HEARTS & RAINBOWS. 2020. THE WORST EVER HIRST EDITION BAR NONE.

London: Heni Productions, 2020

11.5 x 17 x 0.75cm printed plastic folder content of 12 different, 16.5cm x 11.5cm postcards each showing a projection of either a rainbow or a heart onto a major building or landmark. One of 1,689 such sets issued as a fundraiser for the NHS during the Covid Pandemic.

Let’s be honest – this is the nadir of Hirst’s increasingly banal artworks. A pandering to poor taste and knee-jerk sentimentality. The British National Health Service is a proud and astonishing institution and it does not deserve this tosh – the NHS deserves proper funding by a government who would sell it out in an instant if it could to private industry.

All VG+ in like envelope – please buy this so I do not have to own it anymore – priced thus to reflect taste (it is 199 uk pounds elsewhere).
