Damien Hirst Sandwich For Sale

Damien Hirst’s Sandwich is a sharp and ironic print from his 1999 The Last Supper series, a body of work that confronts the viewer with the collision of sustenance and symbolism. Taking one of the most unassuming items in the modern food lexicon, Hirst reimagines the word Sandwich as a prescription label, exposing the subtle absurdity of our reliance on both consumer goods and medications to navigate daily life.

Executed in clean Helvetica type on a stark background, Sandwich adopts the precise, no-frills aesthetic of pharmaceutical branding. But where you might expect a chemical compound or medical instruction, you instead find a lunchtime staple. With typical Hirstian wit, the piece questions not only what we consume, but how we’re conditioned to read and trust what we’re told, on packaging, in advertising, and even in art.

As a limited edition screenprint (150 signed copies), Sandwich captures the conceptual clarity that has made The Last Supper series one of Hirst’s most celebrated print portfolios. Unlike some of the more visually chaotic works from his oeuvre, Sandwich is disarmingly simple, inviting deeper reflection with its blank, brand-like directness.

Hirst’s early training as a graphic designer is evident in the precision and restraint of this piece, yet behind its minimalism lies a broader commentary on identity, class, consumption, and the commodification of the everyday. The artwork becomes a quiet provocation: Is food now medicine? Is art now product?
