Damien Hirst โข Pharmacy, by pezlow on Feb 22, 2008 16:53:31 GMT 1, This may seem an odd request but I am looking for the original match books from Damien Hirst's pharmacy restaurant. There were 60 different designs but I am looking for 2 of the designs in particular - one with a drawing of a microscope on it and one with a drawing of a chemical symbol - RX. If you have these please pm me.

Damien Hirst โข Pharmacy, by pezlow on Feb 22, 2008 17:30:11 GMT 1, Yeah - well actually they are for my mate John's 2 postcards. He got those two symbols - I got the cross and the fire retardant symbols (which aren't on the matchbooks). It was the print in sothebys that made me realise that the two symbols featured on the matchbooks.
I can't run to the print (ยฃ10k-ยฃ20k) but an original matchbook or the poster would be fantastic.

Damien Hirst โข Pharmacy, by olivier on Mar 10, 2010 20:49:59 GMT 1, hey all.
i'm looking for items from the infamous PHARMACY restaurant and bar.
do you have matchbooks, postcards or business cards?
do you have an invite to the opening or an anniversary party?
did you get a pharmacy gift bag (with the absolute cocktail shaker in it) at one of the parties?
did you "acquire" a plate, ashtray, menu, check presenter, etc...? 
do you have something from the sotheby's auction back in october 2004?
purchasing single items or entire collections-
nothing is too big or small for this obsessive collector.
please p.m. with details.
THANKS!

My hope where shot down after the first lot a couple of cocktail glasses estimated at ยฃ80 I think went for ยฃ1.6k.... that was the end of bidding me me :-) Nice to see some chap buy one of the pharmacy cabinets for over one million!!! Anyway good luck with your search, there used to be a few bits come up on the bay, but not so much now. I've still got the catalogue and prices.

actually the first lot (the martini glasses) went for ยฃ4000.
similar story for me though, monkeyart.
i really wanted lot 2 (a complete set of ashtrays) which had an estimate of ยฃ100 - ยฃ150.
i put in an absentee bid for ยฃ600 thinking i had it locked, and was outbid by ยฃ1000.
as a consolation prize i still have the sotheby's letter: "we regret to inform you that not all of your bids were successful", which kills me as in fact i had won nothing from the auction.

How many matchbooks were in the series ?
What are common ? Which are rare ?
I have one in a draw somewhere I'll did it out and get its number....

Damien Hirst โข Pharmacy, by elwheel on Mar 12, 2010 0:14:31 GMT 1, Interestingly though, a lot of pieces in the Sothebys auction were produced specifically for the sale including the ashtrays as a lot of such pocketable items were indeed pocketed straight from the restaurant. This could possibly mean that a piece bought with Sothebys authentification may not indeed be as authentic as a piece without it. : )

Damien Hirst โข Pharmacy, by wizzy on Nov 25, 2010 10:01:27 GMT 1, Cheers Elwheel. I like Jasper Morrisons designs, nice and clean, as far as chair design goes though they dont do anything for me but i can see why people would want them as they have the story / provenance etc., plus you can always use them as chairs!. Cant see the ones on ebay going for a lot so maybe a good buy for someone.

Thats the kind of blue-sky thinking, envelope pushing, outside of the box stuff we need around these parts. Know what you mean about their aesthetic though - they kinda look like the chairs in my office.
