About this work

Damien Hirst's Glycine Cresol Red is a 2011 woodcut print measuring ten inches square. Part of his celebrated pharmaceutical series, the work features Hirst's signature exploration of medicine, mortality, and consumer culture through the visual language of pill packaging and chemical compounds. The woodcut medium lends a distinctive tactile quality to the composition, with bold colors and graphic forms that reference both Pop Art aesthetics and scientific documentation. The compact square format intensifies the work's visual impact, creating an immediately recognizable example of Hirst's conceptual approach to printmaking. This piece represents an accessible entry point for collectors interested in Hirst's internationally acclaimed practice. As one of the defining artists of his generation, Hirst's prints remain highly sought after, offering museum-quality work from a blue-chip contemporary artist. The pharmaceutical prints particularly resonate with collectors drawn to his broader investigations of life, death, and belief systems that have characterized his most important bodies of work.
