Cephalothin is a 2007 etching by Damien Hirst. His iconic spots here take the form of a circle, evoking his other kaleidoscopic works.

First exhibited in 1988, the Spot works, also known as the Pharmaceutical Paintings have become one of the art world’s most recognizable, classic images and they define the way much of our culture views contemporary and conceptual art. Initially conceived as a scientific approach to painting much like the drug companies’ scientific approach to life. As the series evolved, Hirst began to discover an intriguing link between painting, and psychological mood.
