Damien Hirst restaurant fittings sold for £11m

The aspirin-styled bar stools, towering medical cabinets, DNA-themed sculptures and molecule inspired ashtrays which lined Damien Hirst’s famed, but short-lived, London restaurant Pharmacy sold tonight for £11.1m (€15.9m) at auction.

More than 150 fittings from the Notting Hill venue, including 10 of Hirst’s butterfly paintings, were sold off months after the prized works were feared lost in the Momart warehouse fire.
