The personal art collection of British artist Damien Hirst is set to go on display in May 2015, when a new gallery opens in Vauxhall, south London.
The collection – which contains 2,000 pieces – will be housed in a converted warehouse and has been designed by Caruso St John Architects, who also worked on the recent revamp of the Tate Britain.
Caruso St John Architects are renovating three listed theatre production warehouses and adding two more structures to create the Newport Street Gallery, which will stretch the entire length of a street in Vauxhall. The plans also include offices and a restaurant.
The gallery was originally projected to open this year, however due to various delays, the May 2015 date was set.
Hirst's collection includes pieces by Francis Bacon, Jeff Koons and street artist Banksy.
Lambeth Council has hailed the gallery opening as the start of a “Gallery Quarter,” alongside a major regeneration project in the area. This includes an extension to the underground railway line, the regeneration of nearby Waterloo Station and a regeneration of Brixton, which includes the recent opening of the UK’s first black heritage centre.
