Art & Design

Art is at the heart of the building, with The Audley acting as a showcase for extraordinary and important works alongside specially commissioned site-specific art interventions created by Hauser & Wirth’s roster of globally celebrated artists. This includes Phyllida Barlow in The Audley Public House, Rashid Johnson in Mount St. Restaurant and Anj Smith in the Games Room turret.

Art & design continue to integrate throughout the space, from the table lamps to the dining chairs, cabinets to chandeliers.

In addition to this, over 200 pieces of art feature throughout Mount St. Restaurant & Rooms, including works by Andy Warhol, Henry Matisse, Lucian Freud, Ferdinand Hodler, Peter Fischli and David Weiss.

“Broken Floor”, 2022
Mount St. Restaurant floor

 

The design for the floor comes from a body of work that Rashid has been working on for several years, which uses mosaics, called “Broken Men”.

This palladiana mosaic, comprised of differing types of marble, allow guests to “explore it, stand on it, interact with it physically…in ways they traditionally haven’t had the opportunity” Rashid Johnson, 2022.

Table Lamps

Continuing the integration of art and design throughout the restaurant, the table lamps are inspired by the iconic 1918 Powder Box by the late Davos-born Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp.

Salt & Pepper Cruets

The salt and pepper cruets are inspired by American artist Paul McCarthy’s much-discussed ‘Tree’ (2014) sculpture.
