Damien Hirst Mushroom For Sale

Damien Hirst’s Mushroom, from his 1999 portfolio The Last Supper, is a striking and cerebral exploration of food, pharmacology, and the mechanics of modern consumption. Rendered in the stark visual language of pharmaceutical packaging, this work replaces the name of a drug with a single, familiar food item: Mushroom. The result is both minimalist and richly ironic, speaking to Hirst’s fascination with life’s essentials—what we eat, what we medicate with, and how the two often blur.

Part of a signed limited edition of 150, Mushroom is screenprinted on Somerset wove paper and exemplifies the core conceptual approach of The Last Supper series. Hirst transforms the ordinary into the clinical, turning a natural, organic item into something systematised and branded. At once humorous and haunting, Mushroom reflects on how society packages and processes not only food, but meaning itself.

The work aligns with Hirst’s broader exploration of death, decay, healing and ritual, seen throughout his career - from his medicine cabinets to his dissected animal vitrines. In Mushroom, these themes are distilled into a form that is direct and deceptively simple.

Collectors value Mushroom for its clarity of concept and visual punch. As with other works from The Last Supper, it resonates with the Pop Art tradition while remaining unmistakably Hirst - bold, ironic, and deeply attuned to the commercial and cultural forces that shape our everyday lives.
