The Secrets editions are based on the paintings from Hirst's latest series, The Secret Gardens Paintings (2023).

The Secret Gardens Paintings were first unveiled at Frieze London in 2023 to mark the 20th anniversary of the fair. A selection of the paintings were displayed at Château La Coste in March 2024 as part of Hirst's exhibition of sculptures and paintings, titled The Light That Shines
