Picolinic Acid, 2011
Woodcut
8 x 20 in 20.3 x 50.8 cm
Edition
Edition of 55
Damien Hirst's Picolinic Acid from 2011 exemplifies the artist's iconic spot painting vocabulary translated into the medium of woodcut. Measuring eight by twenty inches, this horizontal composition features Hirst's signature arrangement of precisely rendered colored circles against a white ground. The woodcut technique lends a subtle handcrafted quality to the geometric forms, with the relief printing process creating distinct edges and a tactile surface that distinguishes it from Hirst's painted iterations. The elongated format and vibrant palette demonstrate his continued exploration of systematic color arrangements and pharmaceutical references. This work appeals to collectors seeking an accessible entry point into Hirst's celebrated spot series while offering the distinctive qualities of a hand-pulled print. The 2011 production date places it during a pivotal period in Hirst's career, and woodcut remains among his less frequently employed printmaking techniques, adding desirability for those building comprehensive collections of his graphic works.
