Hirst, one of the world’s most successful artists, used to live on the Peninsula; he rented a cottage near the Pilot pub shortly after moving to London and made his first medicine cabinet there. His seminal 1988 group exhibition, Freeze, was staged a little to the west, in Surrey Docks.

These works, however, have their own, slightly less reliable back story. Hirst created the mythical, nautical sculptures for his Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable exhibition, which was staged in Venice 9 April-3 December 2017. The show told the story of an ancient shipwreck, the Unbelievable (Apistos in the original Koine Greek), presenting the works as its salvaged cargo.

The first two sculptures to be installed from this exhibition are Hydra & Kali – a 17-foot-high sculpture depicting the Hindu goddess fighting a huge, many-headed serpent – and Mermaid – a bronze of a more familiar mythical figure. And if you like these two watery additions to the Peninsula, check back over the coming months; a total of eight works from Hirst’s 2017 show will be installed here soon.
