ARTWORK: THE LAST SUPPER T-SHIRT - SCREEN PRINTED. Created at the peak of YBA fame, Damien Hirst's The Last Supper series captures both the pharmaceutical iconography and interest in religious themes As a set or individually they are a powerful meditation on what the artist considers the absurdity (and dualities) of faith and consumerism and the self-destructive and brainless nature of humankind. The ideas behind this series are important, engaging with more than one of the defining themes of Hirst's work.

At the time, the world was counting down to the Millennium and the coming year would see the opening of the Tate Modern in Bankside. Hirst's prices were hitting the stratosphere and a year later his sculpture Hymn (one of three) would sell for a million pounds.
