Hirst's "Pharmacy" in record sale
Tue 19 October, 2004 10:29
LONDON (Reuters) - British artist Damien Hirst -- known for using dead
animals in his works -- has sold the contents of his iconic London
restaurant "Pharmacy" for 11.1 million pounds on a record-breaking night
for the artist.
More than 160 items from the restaurant, which combined food with modern
art in London's trendy Notting Hill, went under the hammer at Sotheby's
late on Monday, more than doubling its estimates of about 4 million pounds.
A giant medicine cabinet called The Fragile Truth sold for 1.24 million
pounds -- a record for a Hirst work -- while another cabinet titled The
Sleep of Reason went for 1.1 million pounds, both way above top
estimates of 600,000 pounds.
"Suddenly my restaurant venture seems to be a success," said Hirst in a
statement.
Skeletons, apothecary jars and aspirin-shaped bar stools from the once
ultra-hip eatery were other lots, while even simple items such as ash
trays sold for more than 10 times Sotheby's pre-sale estimates.
Two Martini glasses, estimated at just 50-70 pounds were sold for 4,800
pounds.
"Tonight's sensational results are the culmination of months of hard
work and the vindication of Damien's enduring appeal," said Oliver
Barker, Senior Director of Sotheby's Contemporary Art department.
Pharmacy opened in 1997, looking so much like a chemist's shop from the
outside that some unwary shoppers were walking in with prescriptions. It
shut last year.
Hirst won Britain's top modern art award, the Turner Prize, in 1995 for
"Mother and Child, Divided," which featured an adult cow and a baby
calf, each split in half, pickled in formaldehyde and displayed in glass
tanks.
