About this work

Damien Hirst's Ethidium Bromide Aqueous Solution is a 2005 etching that exemplifies the artist's ongoing fascination with science, medicine, and mortality. Created during a prolific period of printmaking, this work measures 46 by 39 inches and demonstrates Hirst's technical command of the etching medium. The composition likely features the precise, geometric arrangements and pharmaceutical references characteristic of his celebrated spot paintings and medicine cabinet series, translated into the nuanced language of printmaking with its distinctive linear qualities and tonal depth. This etching represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's conceptual exploration of life and death through scientific imagery. As one of the most significant British artists of his generation, Hirst's prints remain highly sought after, offering museum-quality work from an artist whose pieces command international attention at major auctions and institutions worldwide.
