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

Print (framed)

Taken directly from Damien Hirst’s limited-edition artist book Poisons + Remedies, Passover (Plate XXVI) is a framed book page that blurs the boundaries between medical rationality and metaphysical reflection. Deconstructed from the original volume, this piece has been professionally float-mounted and framed to museum standards, transforming a printed page into a contemplative object.

With its clean lines and pharmaceutical motifs, Passover evokes both ritual and remedy—playing on Hirst’s enduring exploration of science, belief, and mortality. The work’s title adds a layer of spiritual tension to its sterile, diagrammatic composition, inviting viewers to reconsider the act of healing through both clinical and symbolic lenses.

Framed and preserved in excellent condition, this 13 ¾ x 11 inch print is a rare and striking artifact from one of Hirst’s most conceptually driven projects—ideal for collectors seeking a cerebral and visually minimal statement piece.
