Damien Hirst

Founder and funder. Damien Hirst converted a row of former theatre-scenery workshops in Vauxhall into Newport Street Gallery, which opened in 2015 and charges no admission. It shows works from his own large collection of other artists' work, as well as his own, in shows that are often surprisingly scholarly. For an artist associated with the market, it is a notable gift of free gallery space to south London.
