The work The Immaculate Heart - Blind by Damien Hirst was auctioned at Sothebys in London in September 2008. It achieved a price of GBP 505,250.00 (€ 638,837.51), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 68%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Damien Hirst achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Lullaby Spring in June 2007 with an auction result of GBP 9,652,000.00 (€ 14,323,082.54).
