Damien Hirst is to Take Over One of Gagosian’s London Galleries as Curator for an Entire Year

Gagosian, has handed over its space in London’s Britannia Street to Damien Hirst as curator for a year.

“We need to do things differently at an altered time. It’s a definite takeover,” Gagosian director Millicent Wilner told the Financial Times.

Hirst is set to put on a series of shows which will present some of his lesser known paintings and sculptures. These will include his Photo-Realist “Fact” series of paintings and sculptures.

“The idea of variations of truth seems relevant just now, Wilner says. The works span from 2005-2019 and many are on loan, rather for sale,” Wilner added. 

The show is currently being installed and Hirst plans to open as soon as lockdown is lifted.
