About this work

Ciclopirox Olamine is a sophisticated etching from Damien Hirst's celebrated Pharmaceutical series, executed in 2004. The work measures an impressive 45 by 44 inches and demonstrates Hirst's masterful command of printmaking techniques. The composition features the artist's characteristic exploration of medical and scientific imagery, rendered with precise linear detail that only the etching medium can achieve. The piece balances technical rigor with conceptual depth, embodying Hirst's ongoing investigation into themes of mortality, consumption, and the pharmaceutical industry's role in contemporary life. This work represents an important period in Hirst's career, created during the height of his international acclaim and market dominance. The Pharmaceutical series remains highly sought after by collectors, offering an accessible entry point into Hirst's broader conceptual practice while maintaining significant investment potential. The substantial scale and pristine execution make this etching particularly desirable for both institutional collections and discerning private collectors.
