Damien Hirst - Pills

    In the last of my mini-series on the works of Damien Hirst I am featuring his 'pill cabinets'. Each life-sized pill was cast in bronze and hand-painted by his studio workers. The first one shown here, 'Lullaby Spring' had 6,136 pills in it and sold at auction in 2007 for £9.65 million.
    That kind of rules me out from buying one but I do like them.




     
    'Six Pills'

    'The Void'





    Hirst also produced a series of limited edition jewelery featuring pills and tablets: cufflinks, silver bracelets (£15000), gold bracelets (£2500). No, I haven't got any of these either.
