Description
Investment Thesis 📝
Rare and Desirable Work - Small Edition Size
"Sanctum Spire" is a large-format, signed screenprint by Damien Hirst, one of the most recognized names in contemporary art. With only 59 editions created, this piece stands out for its scarcity and popularity—especially in this highly sought-after color variant.
Exceptional Growth Potential – Discount-Enhanced Upside
We secured this artwork at a 19% discount to estimated fair market value. Our analysis assumes a 50% probability (balanced case) or 70% probability (ambitious case) of realizing a 36% CAGR (2020–2025 historical benchmark). After fees, this results in a compelling expected net return of 24.4% annually, making the investment scenario both realistic and highly attractive.
Attractive Entry Price – Significant Discount
Our release price of €28,800 is 19% below the lowest current offering on the market, creating a compelling opportunity. With secondary gallery listings at €35,750 and low auction supply, this undervaluation provides a robust margin of safety and high upside potential.

Exit Options at Maturity 🚪
We will manage the exit strategy in collaboration with our expert on behalf of our investors, ensuring the best possible outcome based on market conditions at the time. Depending on the prevailing market situation, the print will be sold to a private collector or offered as single lots at an auction for contemporary art. An auction is considered if the price has developed to the point where the minimum bid matches the market value and there is high demand for works by the artist. Both options are carefully considered, and we will choose the one that maximizes the return for our investors.
