A new collaboration between Damin Hirst and Mark Hix has given life
to the restaurant Pharmacy2 at Newport Street Gallery in Vauxhall,
London.
The restaurant opened its doors on 10th February 2016 and hosts site
specific work from a number of Hirst’s most iconic series including the
Medicine Cabinets and butterfly Kaleidoscope paintings.
The restaurant is the last realisation of Hirst’s long term ambition to share his art collection with the public. This desire is embodied in the Newport Street Gallery which reflects his interest in science, through medicine and pharmaceuticals.
