In 1990, Sarah Lucas and Henry Bond took over a cavernous multi-story industrial warehouse in London’s Docklands, giving themselves and a handful of different rising Goldsmith graduates an unlimited ground every to fill with their work. Described by critics as a show of ‘calculated anarchy’ in rooms far bigger than any gallery would dream of providing them, the controversial East Nation Yard Present was only one instance of the enterprising antics of the newly-bonded YBAs, who have been on the cusp of forcing British artwork right into a daring new period of openness and creativity.

One among these artists was the soon-to-be stratospheric Gary Hume, who offered a sequence of hauntingly lovely items produced from forest-green industrial tarpaulin used to cowl lorries on the docks. Entitled ‘Bays’, they have been slashed and sewn to resemble entryways and home windows within the model of his well-known ‘Door’ work, which infused human emotion into summary hospital doorways rendered in candy-coloured Dulux paint. Not like his widely-exhibited ‘Doorways’ nonetheless, Hume hadn’t returned to ‘Bays’ till 2024, when he obtained a message from Burberry’s inventive director, Daniel Lee.

It’s been an enormous week for the gentle-natured artist, who’s exhibiting a brand new physique of labor right here as a part of three concurrent London exhibitions marking 25 years since he represented Britain on the Venice Biennale. ‘I hadn’t touched the items in a very long time, and so when Daniel requested me if I might take part in his present, I mentioned sure.’
