About this work

Damien Hirst's VISKEN 5 (Baby Blue) is a three-dimensional pharmaceutical pill sculpture cast in polyurethane resin with ink pigment. Created in 2014, this work exemplifies Hirst's ongoing exploration of medicine, mortality, and consumer culture through meticulous representations of mass-produced medications. The baby blue surface captures the clinical aesthetic of pharmaceutical design while elevating an everyday object to the status of fine art through scale and material transformation. This piece belongs to Hirst's celebrated Medicine Cabinets and pill series, which have become iconic within contemporary art markets. Collectors value these works for their commentary on society's relationship with health, death, and the pharmaceutical industry, themes central to Hirst's practice since the 1990s. The compact dimensions make this an accessible entry point into Hirst's oeuvre for established and emerging collectors alike. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
