19/10/15 - Much expectation took over the art world in general when Damien Hirst (UK, 1965) announced the opening of his gallery. Hirst, a member of YBA (Young British Artist), dominated British art scene during the 90s. His success was so impressive and his works achieved such status that the artist subsequently became a collector and, later, an art entrepreneur. That explains, in a way, why the announcement of his gallery caused such expectation but, mainly, it was the chance to see a new work of his, something colossal, fit for a grand opening. But it was not so. The Newport Street Gallery is located on an industrial neighbourhood in south London and it displays Damien Hirst's works, not of his making, but those belonging to his collection. Nowadays, in fact, the gallery is presenting an exhibition entitled "Power Stations", dedicated to works from 1964 to 1982 by artist John Hoyland.
