THE ARCHIVES I

Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren had a great start of 2015. Damien Hirst visited our second show in London and bought every single piece for his Murderme collection. Two entire collections. The 'La Vie dans l’Eden' Fine Taxidermy collection and the 'Avis Oxi-Action' photo collection. “REALLY INCREDIBLE” those were his words when he saw our work. As you can imagine, we think it is really incredible too.

THE COLLECTION: LA VIE DANS L'EDEN
