Damien Hirst Chicken For Sale

Damien Hirst’s Chicken (1999) is a compelling work from his acclaimed portfolio The Last Supper, a thirteen-part screenprint series that reimagines the sacred and the everyday through the lens of contemporary consumer culture. In Chicken, Hirst presents the name of a familiar food item in the stylised layout of pharmaceutical packaging - offering a wry commentary on the commodification of both nourishment and health.
The clean Helvetica typography and stark, clinical composition mimic the sterile design of over-the-counter medicine boxes. This visual language, so often associated with cure and control, is applied here to a product of mass consumption - transforming the ordinary into an object of conceptual scrutiny. Hirst’s long-standing interest in life, death, and the rituals of modern society is clearly evident, positioning Chicken as a minimalist yet deeply layered work.
Created in a signed, limited edition of 150, Chicken exemplifies Hirst’s sharp fusion of conceptual art with graphic impact. Like other pieces in The Last Supper, it questions how meaning is assigned to products, symbols, and sustenance in a post-industrial world. It’s both satire and homage - a clever visual reflection on branding, medicine, and the role of art in decoding modern life.
As Hirst’s market continues to thrive, works from The Last Supper are increasingly sought-after. Their bold visual simplicity and potent cultural themes make them staples of contemporary print collections. Chicken is particularly resonant, straddling fine art and mass media in a manner that feels as relevant today as it did at the turn of the millennium.
