Damien Hirst's New Colour Space Series Debuts at Houghton Hall

Damien Hirst's solo exhibition at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, England, opens March 25 and runs through July 15, 2018. The show features the new Colour Space series indoors, where human touch replaces the machine-like precision of his Spot Paintings, and Outdoor Sculptures in the gardens. The venue, Houghton Hall, is an 18th-century country house built for Sir Robert Walpole. This follows Hirst's successful 2017 solo show at the Fondation Pinault in Venice during the Biennale. The article also recalls Hirst's 2008 Sotheby's auction of 223 lots for $200 million, which bypassed galleries and sparked controversy. Additionally, it mentions the 2012 Gagosian Gallery global exhibition series of Spot Paintings across New York, Hong Kong, Paris, and Athens, and a 90-minute Netflix documentary about Hirst's underwater finds, which divided critics and fans.
