Lo studio del celebre artista Damien Hirst è stato ricreato a Seoul per una grande mostra a lui dedicata (c’è pure il pavimento originale)
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Seoul has launched "Nothing Is True But Everything Is Possible," the largest retrospective of Damien Hirst’s work ever held in Asia. Spanning 35 years of his career, the exhibition features over 50 iconic works, including his formaldehyde-preserved animals, diamond-encrusted skull, and a recreation of his Pharmacy Restaurant. A unique highlight is the meticulous reconstruction of Hirst’s London studio, complete with the original paint-stained floor transported to South Korea and 30 previously unseen unfinished canvases from his new "River" series.
This exhibition represents a significant cultural investment for the MMCA, costing over $2 million to secure Hirst’s presence in the region. By recreating a living artist's studio—a gesture typically reserved for posthumous tributes—the museum underscores Hirst’s status as a definitive icon of contemporary art. The show aims to solidify Seoul's position in the global art circuit while offering an intimate look at the artist's process and his latest creative evolution inspired by Henri Matisse.
