About this work

Damien Hirst's Valium 5MG Roche (Yellow) from 2014 is a meticulously crafted sculpture that reproduces a pharmaceutical tablet at monumental scale. Cast in polyurethane resin with ink pigment, the work enlarges the familiar yellow Valium pill to over three inches, transforming an everyday object of medication into a contemplative art piece. The smooth, clinical finish and precise rendering capture both the austere beauty of pharmaceutical design and the unsettling omnipresence of prescribed drugs in contemporary life. This work exemplifies Hirst's ongoing investigation into mortality, medicine, and consumer culture, themes that have defined his practice since the 1990s. As part of his celebrated pharmaceutical series, pieces like this have been widely collected by institutions and private collectors globally. The intimate scale makes it particularly suited for focused display in residential or corporate settings, offering collectors an accessible entry point into one of contemporary art's most significant bodies of work.
