Art greats including Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst on display in Jersey

Private & Public

A St Helier art gallery is holding a limited-time exhibition, showcasing art from the likes of Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst, alongside Jersey talent.

Islanders are getting the first look at a super rare Andy Warhol displayed in St Helier.

A silk print of the renowned American artist's painting of Marilyn Monroe is up for £225,000.

This version of the painting is one of 250 in the world and is signed and dated by Warhol, who created the prints in his New York studio, The Factory.

Art gallery founder, Chris Clifford says:

"If you calculated the value of all of the sales of those prints, it's probably the most expensively traded image on earth."

Other giants in the world of art include a Damien Hirst coffee set, an ink painting from Tracey Emin, prints from Pure Evil, and hoards more.

A super rare ceramic Frankenthaler, Thanksgiving Day 1973, is displayed in one of the rooms and is going for £35,000.

Another work of art which explores the use of unusual materials is Mark Guest's Butterflies 2024, which is made from Roman marble.

The sculpture has a thin middle, allowing light to pass through the centre, with butterflies carved into the surface.

The founder of Private & Public has created a blended show, including his favourite Jersey artists, and says we have a huge raft of talent in Jersey.

"Local artists aren't always able to exhibit their works in London, or New York, or Paris, but nonetheless I think it's really important to position them next to the greats so that people can understand that the quality of work that they make is still exemplary."
