To celebrate the opening of Mark Hix’s new restaurant venture in the Tramshed, East London, Hirst specifically created this monumental formaldehyde work. ‘Cock and Bull’ – a Hereford cow and a cockerel preserved in a steel and glass tank of formaldehyde – makes reference to Tramshed's menu which is centred around chicken and beef dishes. The sculpture is elevated above diners in the centre of the 1000 square foot old electricity generating station. The work forms part of the ‘Natural History’ series, Hirst’s seminal collection of preserved animals.
