'Spots' Skateboard Decks (Set of 5)

A standout collaboration at the crossroads of contemporary art and street culture, this complete set of five Spots skateboard decks was released by Supreme in 2009 in partnership with internationally acclaimed artist Damien Hirst. Each deck showcases Hirst’s unmistakable Spot series — defined by meticulously arranged, multicolored polka dots that have become a signature motif within his practice and a visual shorthand for his conceptual approach to color, repetition, and systems of order.

Damien Hirst emerged as a leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the 1990s, gaining international recognition for his provocative, boundary-defying works that engaged themes of life, death, beauty, and the clinical detachment of contemporary society. Among his most recognizable series, the Spot paintings reflect a shift toward minimalism and serial structure within his oeuvre, distilling painting to pure chromatic rhythm and questioning authorship, uniformity, and the mechanization of art.

Supreme’s collaboration with Hirst underscores the brand’s pioneering ability to bridge fine art and street culture, transforming functional skate decks into collectible art objects. The release helped push skate graphics into the realm of contemporary art, establishing new pathways for crossover collecting and elevating the skateboard as a platform for cultural expression. Surviving full sets are especially scarce, as many were split up or used, making this intact trio highly collectible.
