Print (framed)

Framed from Damien Hirst’s rare artist book Poisons + Remedies, Kill (Plate II) is a provocative early plate that sets the tone for the entire series. Deconstructed from the original 2010 volume and carefully framed to museum standards, this piece transforms a bound page into a standalone visual statement.

Blending Hirst’s clinical aesthetic with blunt, evocative language, Kill confronts the viewer with a single, unsettling word—disarming in its simplicity, yet rich in implication. The print underscores Hirst’s exploration of violence, healing, and contradiction within contemporary culture and medical science.

This framed book print measures 13 ¾ x 11 inches and remains in excellent condition. An essential fragment of one of Hirst’s most conceptually potent projects, Kill offers a stark and powerful addition to any collection focused on contemporary art, symbolism, or the intersection of language and image.
