COLOUR SPACE PAINTINGS AND OUTDOOR SCULPTURES: 25th March – 15th July 2018
The curator of the exhibition was Mario Codognato.
Lord Cholmondeley, owner of Houghton, said: ”We are delighted to have this opportunity to show Damien Hirst’s new paintings in the State Rooms at Houghton, together with some of his best-known sculptures in the grounds. It is perhaps the first time that Hirst has shown a significant body of work in a formal country house setting. William Kent’s gilded interiors will be transformed for the duration of the show.”
SPONSORS
The lead sponsor of the exhibition is Dorotheum. The Viennese auction house is the oldest in continental speaking Europe, and is a fitting partner for this exhibition which juxtaposes old and new. Established in 1707, the auction house continually belies its eighteenth century traditional heritage with innovative modern contemporary works and previews, including those of Damien Hirst for the past thirty years.
Supporting sponsor is Mulberry.
