Viewing Damien Hirst: Sunshine, presented by HENI

On everyone’s lips this week is the new Damien Hirst show at Claridge’s ArtSpace, the freshly opened permanent art gallery located in the hotel’s Victorian basement. Designed by John Pawson, ArtSpace is now one of the largest art galleries in Mayfair. Landing in the gallery next year are a shop and an on-site café, serving delicious Claridge’s treats.

Works on display include examples of Hirst’s colour chart series and his brilliant pipe cleaner animals. ‘They are about the fact that everyone’s an artist,’ he said. ‘They are a group of works which have never been seen together before — they are big and fun and playful and hopefully they will bring the child out in even the most grown of grown ups!’

Both cryptocurrency and Tenders from The Currency, Hirst’s first NFT collection, will be accepted as payment for the artworks on show. Get yourself down there asap.
