Having opened this time last year, last week Newport Street Gallery was awarded the RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK’s best new building. Designed by Caruso St John, the gallery – with its distinctive facade and exceptionally crafted interiors – presents exhibitions of work drawn from British artist Damien Hirst’s collection.

This November the gallery is set to host a major solo exhibition of work by British artist Gavin Turk. Hirst has said of the exhibition: ‘I started collecting Gavin’s work twenty years ago. He’s an incredibly powerful artist, his work is about language and the spaces between things – about identity and somebody and nobody, he plays with our preconceptions of what’s there and not there, of what art is and how it functions.’
