In 2014 Damien Hirst created two editions of Pfizer VGR 100mg Multiple, a small multiple that is just a couple of inches and this large version which is 11.22 inches wide and was immediately sold out when it was published in 2014.
The works in the Pharmaceutical Sculpture Series were first exhibited at the Paul Stolper Gallery, in London in October 2014 and act as a continuation of Damien Hirst’s life-long investigation into an almost-spiritual relationship with the rigors of science and the pharmaceutical industry.
Hirst created a body of Pharmaceutical Sculptures, including medicine bottles, pharmaceutical boxes, ampoules, syringes, a scalpel and drug packaging that all play with concepts of scale – the tallest measuring nearly one and a half meters. The limited editions continue Damien Hirst's exploration of contemporary belief systems; religion, love, art and medicine.
