A photo of one of the spiral stairs in the Newport St Gallery, London.

 

I've photographed the three beautiful stairs in the Damien Hirst owned Gallery a couple of times before but if I'm passing I'll always try to pop in to take a few more shots. Sometimes I even take a look at the art.......

 

For me the assorted spirals are one of the best features of the Stirling Prize winning Caruso St. John project.

From Wikipedia, "The Newport Street Gallery is an art gallery in London, England which displays works selected from the personal art collection of Damien Hirst. It is located on Newport Street in Vauxhall and is the realisation of Hirst's long-term ambition to share his art collection with the public.

 

Hirst announced plans for the gallery in March 2012, and it opened in October 2015. It includes a cafe, gallery shop and offices for Hirst's company.

 

The building is a former theatre carpentry and scenery production workshop, dating from 1913. It was designed by John Woodward, the London County Council's district surveyor for the area. It is Grade II listed. For its conversion to the gallery, the building was redesigned by Caruso St John. The design was praised for its "virtuosity", and in October 2016 it won the RIBA Stirling Prize.

 

The gallery spans 37,000 square feet and includes six exhibition spaces – one with a ceiling height of 11 metres – split over two levels."
