Damien Hirst Dumpling For Sale

Damien Hirst’s Dumpling (1999) is a standout work from his seminal The Last Supper series - an incisive critique of consumer culture, food systems, and the visual language of modern medicine. Part of a portfolio of thirteen screenprints, Dumpling pairs a basic food item with the minimalist, matter-of-fact aesthetic of pharmaceutical packaging, reflecting Hirst’s ongoing interest in the relationship between nourishment, healing, and commodification.

Screenprinted in bold Helvetica text against a stark, sterile background, Dumpling mimics the clinical branding of over-the-counter medication. In doing so, Hirst transforms the comforting and communal associations of food into something detached and institutional. It’s a work that is as conceptually rich as it is visually concise.

Issued in a signed, limited edition of 150, Dumpling is one of the most collectible prints in The Last Supper series. The print continues Hirst’s investigation into rituals of consumption, not only in terms of what we ingest, but how we accept branding, habit, and repetition as part of daily life.

Hirst, whose career has consistently blurred the lines between fine art and commercial production, presents food here as both substance and symbol. In Dumpling, nourishment becomes a branded experience, underscoring the artist’s belief that art, like food and pharmaceuticals, is inseparable from the structures of capital and desire.
