American Dream
American Dream is a landmark collaboration between Damien Hirst and Eminem that unites two of the most influential forces in contemporary art and music. The release features three limited-edition cabinets and a collection of original paintings, merging Eminem’s era-defining discography with Hirst’s iconic Spin Paintings and Medicine Cabinet series.
The artworks are available by application until 17:00 BST on 19 October 2026.
To coincide with the release, 12 prints based on the original paintings are also available on HENI Editions.
CABINETS
The three cabinets – Re-up, Riot and Addict – are the latest evolution of Hirst’s Medicine Cabinet series. Each cabinet contains Eminem’s 12-album discography, featuring covers based on an Eminem album cover Hirst reimagined in 2022 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Interscope Records.
The three cabinets are hand-signed by both artists on the front and numbered on the label.
More details
The edition size of Re-up is limited to 100 (+20 APs). The edition size of Riot and Addict is limited to 50 (+10 APs) each.
In Riot and Addict, the albums are arranged alongside medicine boxes and pills, echoing the clinical aesthetic that Hirst has explored since he first began the series.
Hirst has incorporated music into his Medicine Cabinets since the series began in the mid-'80s, naming works after songs by The Clash and Sex Pistols, but American Dream makes this connection more literal. In Addict, the medicine featured in the artwork specifically reflects every drug mentioned in Eminem’s lyrics. Additionally, the album sleeves within the cabinets contain the vinyl records themselves, allowing collectors to listen to the music as well as to enjoy the artworks.
PAINTINGS
Hirst and Eminem developed their vision for the album covers further in a collection of original paintings. Drawing on Hirst’s Spin Paintings, chance colour interactions and dynamic compositions create unique variations on the 12 album designs.
The paintings are made in household gloss on canvas and are available in two sizes, 121.9 × 121.9 cm and 213.4 × 213.4 cm. All works are hand-signed by both artists on the label.
About the artists
Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst is a British artist whose name has become synonymous with contemporary art. Since his generative work as a student at Goldsmiths School of Art, Hirst's production has been boundary−redefining in nature. Working primarily in installation, painting, sculpture and drawing, Hirst explores the complex relationships between art, beauty, religion, science, life and death. He constantly returns to his foundational interests and themes, which he reworks to develop an innovative visual language.
Eminem
Over the course of his career, Eminem has sold over 164 million albums and has over 110 billion streams globally. He was Nielsen SoundScan’s top-selling artist of the 2000s with 32.2 million albums sold in that decade in the U.S. alone. In addition, Eminem was also named Billboard’s Artist of the Decade for the same period, 2000 through 2009. Eminem has won 15 GRAMMY® Awards and an Academy Award®. His 2010 album, Recovery, was the first album in the U.S. to be certified platinum digitally. In March 2021 his greatest hits album, Curtain Call: The Hits, became the first hip-hop album to spend a full decade on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. His latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, was released July 12, 2024 and was his eleventh straight studio album to debut at No.1 on the Billboard Top 200, selling over 281,000 units. Eminem is now the only rapper to have released a platinum certified album in four different decades (90s, 00s, 10s, 20s).
