Picrotoxin, 2011
Woodcut
6 x 6 in 15.2 x 15.2 cm
Damien Hirst's Picrotoxin is a 2011 woodcut print measuring six inches square, part of the artist's celebrated series exploring pharmaceutical imagery. The compact composition features Hirst's signature approach to visual precision, translating the language of medical science into bold graphic form. The woodcut medium lends a distinctive tactile quality to the work, with its hand-carved aesthetic offering a compelling contrast to the clinical nature of pharmaceutical subject matter. The intimate scale invites close examination while maintaining the visual impact characteristic of Hirst's broader practice. This print represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's exploration of mortality, science, and beauty that has defined contemporary art since the 1990s. The pharmaceutical series remains highly sought after, combining conceptual rigor with decorative appeal. Works from this period continue to perform strongly at auction and in the secondary market, reflecting Hirst's enduring influence and market stability.
