Soho House Berlin

From Damien Hirst’s shark to Francesco Gioacchini’s playful stairwell mural, the Soho House Berlin collection is an ode to art’s agenda-shifting spirit
In 2025, Soho House Berlin reveals a newly curated art collection, marking the 15th anniversary of the site.
The updated collection combines the best of the House’s original collection alongside key new acquisitions. Numbering 75 artworks it features a dynamic mix of emerging and established artists, with a notable emphasis on Berlin-based talent. Key new museum-level acquisitions include Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen & Dragset, Donna Huanca, Christian Jankowski, Tanja Ostojić, He Xiangyu and Sol Calero.
These works sit alongside existing Berlin-based artists in the House like Thomas Demand, Douglas Gordon and Simon Fujiwara. The collection also emphasizes rising local voices such as Sophie Reinhold, Marianna Simnett and Alexandra Metcalf.
The new collection both honours history and looks ahead, celebrating the vibrancy of Berlin’s art scene while reflecting Soho House’s continued evolution as a global hub for contemporary art.
In 2023, Italian artist Francesco Gioacchini finished a new multi-level stairwell mural that deals with the idea of childhood play and universally recognised games. A star of the global Soho House art collection, Damien Hirst’s large ‘Shark’ remains. Displayed in the lobby of Soho House Berlin, it was created on site and sprayed from the can directly onto its boards when the house was still wrapped in hoarding.
