Damien Hirst • Pharmacy Wallpaper, by Poppy Sunshine on Nov 5, 2009 21:25:42 GMT 1, To get this into perspective, this is just a roll of wallpaper, which Hirst has never seen or touched, and in that case is worth no more than the cost of any other wallpaper. Framing a section of wallpaper is ok if you like it, but its still a piece of wallpaper...
I'm not so sure Hirst has actually seen or touched any of the work he's put out in the last few years has he?
Except for those awful attempts at actual painting he got slagged off for in the press a couple of weeks back ;D

Damien Hirst • Pharmacy Wallpaper, by snausages on Nov 5, 2009 21:31:04 GMT 1, This is also the wallpaper that Hirst got sued for by the drug companies for using brand names on. Consequently this wallpaper was never released and an alternative was printed and released using the names of the apostles. The only rolls of this available are back door ones from the printers that produced it and are not sanctioned by Hirst and are therefore worth nothing (or at least no more that any other s**t wallpaper).
Hmmm, I always thought this original wallpaper was much more desirable than the officially sanctioned mass produced one with biblical names. This is the stuff they had installed in the restaurant of the same name correct? I believe that's why there are still pieces and roles of this around.

I think other criteria were selling it at £1000 a roll so that's hardly surprising.

Damien Hirst • Pharmacy Wallpaper, by graffoto on Nov 6, 2009 15:03:20 GMT 1, I bought 1 repetition of the butterfly patterned wallpaper a while back. Looks very nice framed up and hanging. I know it wouldn't appeal to the art snobs out there, but my old dear loves it!
Any one interested in one of these (Butterfly repeats drop me a PM) I did a whole wall in the Butterfly edition - there only 1000 rolls apparently. ;D looks smart - bit mental but smart

Damien Hirst • Pharmacy Wallpaper, by Quinnster on Aug 21, 2022 12:40:32 GMT 1, Back in the day I had a square of pharmacy wall paper for sale on eBay and Hirsts representative’s (or someone pretending) purchased it and threatened me with legal action claiming it was stolen.

Damien Hirst • Pharmacy Wallpaper, by Crunchy Carrot on Oct 1, 2022 21:03:24 GMT 1, Apparently the whole "pharmacy" is an art installation and it used to be a restaurant where Damien lives (I forgot the place name) but they moved it and made it into a cafe.

Up in the Hirst pharmacy cafe at Newport street gallery at the moment. Anyone know if this was created for the currency show or was it there beforehand? It’s been there since the gallery opened - was a restaurant with chef Mark Hix but now it’s been switched to just a cafe. Based on the original Pharmacy restaurant. |
