Laura Havlin, Damien Hirst touches your Soul. Interview with Damien Hirst on the exhibition "The Soul" at Paul Stopler Gallery, London 2010:
https://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/8710/1/damien-hirst-touches-your-soul.

"Damien Hirst's latest exhibition, The Souls witnesses the Paul Stolper Gallery transformed into a strange butterfly house, with 120 framed foil blocked butterfly prints lined three-deep all over the walls. Although he is once again exploring familiar themes of mortality and spirituality, he has selected a more delicate, aesthetically pretty subject than those of his most famous pieces."

All four sheets are in good condition. There are isolated, minor traces of wear in the corners, as well as very few faint handling marks, finger marks, and scuff marks along the edges.
