About this work

Damien Hirst's Maltohexaose is a 2011 woodcut print measuring eighteen inches square that belongs to the artist's acclaimed Pharmaceutical series. Created using traditional woodcut techniques, the work features Hirst's signature spot motif arranged in a precise geometric composition. The vibrant, multi-colored circles float against a clean background, each spot perfectly rendered to create a rhythmic visual pattern that references both scientific diagrams and the language of abstraction. The title refers to a complex carbohydrate molecule, reinforcing Hirst's ongoing exploration of the intersection between art, science, and mortality. This print represents an accessible entry point into Hirst's work for collectors, offering the conceptual rigor of his larger installations in an intimate format. The Pharmaceutical prints have become highly sought after in the contemporary market, with institutional collections and private collectors alike recognizing their importance within Hirst's broader practice.
