Completely enveloping the viewer with its sheer epic scale and glorious burst of colour and kaleidoscopic form, the dazzling intensity of I Am Become Death, Shatterer of Worlds is the largest-sized butterfly painting which Damien Hirst has ever created. The painting, created entirely from thousands of dead butterfly wings, was the top lot of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Auction in London on 14 October, selling for £2,169,250.
