Steak and Kidney
"This dissonance lies at the heart of the Last Supper portfolio: a commentary on the commodification of sustenance and the uneasy interplay between consumption and wellbeing in modern life."
Damien Hirst, Steak and Kidney (1999–2000) is a bold and characteristically subversive silkscreen print from the artist’s celebrated Last Supper series. Taking its title from a quintessential British dish, the work is stripped of visual imagery and presented in a stark, clinical format that mimics pharmaceutical packaging. In doing so, Hirst forces the viewer to reconsider the language of nourishment - where food, medicine, and marketing blur into one.
Rather than depict the dish itself, Steak and Kidney presents only the name in bold text against a pared-back background, invoking both product design and medical prescriptions. This dissonance lies at the heart of the Last Supper portfolio: a commentary on the commodification of sustenance and the uneasy interplay between consumption and wellbeing in modern life.
As part of a limited edition of 150, Steak and Kidney remains a compelling example of Damien Hirst’s ability to combine conceptual depth with minimalist execution. It’s an essential acquisition for collectors of postmodern British art and those interested in the intersection of art, advertising, and social critique.
