Damien Hirst
XXIX: Sister Ray
From Poisons + Remedies (2010)
13 ¾ x 11 inches
Published by Gagosian Gallery & Other Criteria

Print (framed)

Taken from Damien Hirst’s limited-edition artist book Poisons + Remedies, Sister Ray (Plate XXIX) exemplifies the artist’s ongoing exploration of contradiction—where healing and harm coexist in vibrant tension. Originally conceived as part of a bound visual sequence, this individual plate has been carefully deconstructed and preserved as a standalone artwork.

With its clinical palette and pharmaceutical undertones, Sister Ray echoes Hirst’s fascination with the aesthetics of medicine and mortality. Each line, color, and label evokes the ambiguous boundary between relief and dependence, science and faith.

This print measures 13 ¾ x 11 inches and was published in 2010 by Gagosian Gallery & Other Criteria. It is offered here unframed and in excellent condition—an opportunity to own a compelling fragment from one of Hirst’s most conceptually rigorous projects.
