Meatballs
"Hirst replaces spiritual nourishment with the banal branding of mass-market ready meals, undercutting the sanctity of the “last supper” with the commodified language of contemporary food packaging."
Damien Hirst, Meatballs (1999-2000) is a standout silkscreen print from the artist’s provocative Last Supper series, which boldly reimagines traditional religious iconography through the lens of consumer culture and modern pharmaceutical branding. In this work, Hirst replaces spiritual nourishment with the banal branding of mass-market ready meals, undercutting the sanctity of the “last supper” with the commodified language of contemporary food packaging.
Executed in a deliberately graphic and sterile aesthetic reminiscent of pharmaceutical labelling, Meatballs typifies Hirst’s ongoing interrogation of mortality, consumption, and belief. The bold typography, minimal palette, and clinical design aesthetic directly parody the visual codes of both medical advertising and supermarket design. As part of a limited edition of 150, Meatballs is one of the most recognisable and sought-after Damien Hirst prints from this iconic 1999-2000 portfolio.
Collectors and investors alike value Meatballs not only for its conceptual sharpness, but for its place within a career-defining series that continues to generate interest at auction and in major museum exhibitions. For those looking to buy Damien Hirst prints, Meatballs offers a compelling opportunity to own a piece of contemporary British art history.
