Thinking of taking a loan on your Damien Hirst Art or Paintings?
If you are looking for loans on Damian Hirst’s paintings and art, then you already know that Damien Hirst is one of the most iconic British artists of the late 20th century and reportedly the country’s richest living artist, with an estimated wealth of over £200 million. His controversial and often elaborate modern art pieces have made him synonymous with the contemporary art scene in the UK, and are sold alongside some of the most expensive pieces of art in the world. Many of Hirst’s pieces have sold with a hefty price tag, but undoubtedly his most famous installation is ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’. This divisive but undeniably thought-provoking piece consists of a dead tiger shark, preserved in formaldehyde solution and presented in a clear display cabinet.
Producing the artwork cost £50,000 in itself, but it sold for an undisclosed fee (reported to be around £8 million) in 2004. His 2008 auction, ‘Beautiful Inside My Head Forever’, was a record-breaking two-day event at Sotheby’s Auction House in London, that made £118 million over 128 items.
It is therefore no surprise that pawning your Damien Hirst art or painting can release significant capital. Clearly then, Hirst is a very sought-after artist.

What makes Damien Hirst art so desirable at pawn shops?
Many books have been written on the subject of Damien Hirst’s art. What you can say, is that the notoriety Hirst gained in the 1990s as a member of the Young British Artists gives him a unique cultural position. His controversial artworks always attract media attention and are often expensive to make – such as his Golden Calf, a marble-plinthed formaldehyde-preserved cow with 18-carat gold horns and hooves, which sold for £10.3 million in 2008.
