Private Members’ Club Annabel’s is collaborating with Damien Hirst to host an exclusive presentation of rarely seen work by the artist, as part of Frieze London 2021. Members and guests will be able to view Hirst’s sculptures throughout the Mayfair club until October 24.
Annabel’s is showcasing Hirst’s Gold and Silver sculptures from ‘Treasures.’ First seen in 2017, the collection presents sculptural relics from a fictional shipwreck off the coast of East Africa; the artist plays fast and loose with linear time, cultural origin, and perceptions of relative status and value.
We’re told: ‘Sparking unexpected interactions between ancient and modern, Hirst’s ‘Treasures’ exemplifies the idea of myth making that lies at the core of culture, both high and low.’

Damien Hirst’s Cat (Egyptian) looks purr-fect at Annabel’s
In the reception, guests are greeted by the formaldehyde artwork ‘Peace.’ Seven additional works are located throughout the Club. They shouldn’t be hard to spot: ‘Hathor’ resides on the mantelpiece in the Rose Room, while ‘Minnie’ and ‘Goofy,’ carved out of pink Portuguese marble and encrusted with painted barnales, offer greetings at the entrance.
Works such as ‘Chinese Elephant’ and ‘Cat (Egyptian)’ appear perfectly at home amid the unapologetic opulence of the Annabel’s rooms and the animal theme used throughout.

Since the late 1980’s, Damien Hirst has used installation, sculpture, painting and drawing to explore the complex relationship between art, life and death. Of his work, Hirst says: “Art’s about life and it can’t really be about anything else … there isn’t anything else”
Founded in 1963, Annabel’s has long celebrated culture and fine art. This partnership toasts that heritage, say organisers.
The Damien Hirst showcase is available to view until October 24

Sometimes, you bite into a morsel so delicately delicious, you know you’ll be thinking about it for at least three months after. And sometimes, you take a sip and know the drink will be on your mind every time you order a rather less mind-blowing iteration of the same cocktail. Both of these instances happened…
