Location Vulnerable to Hurricanes
The Faena Hotel in Miami is known for its incredible pieces of art, including “Gone But Not Forgotten” by artist Damien Hirst. Valued at twenty-five million dollars, this gold-leafed mammoth sculpture sits feet away from the white sands of South Beach. Due to its location, it is vulnerable to inclement weather, including hurricanes.
Custom Hurricane Protection Solution
To make sure this stunning piece of art wouldn’t be gone or forgotten due to potentially disastrous hurricanes, management at the Faena hotel called in Armor Screen to help. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with this unique opportunity to create a custom hurricane protection system for this special sculpture. Using our industry-leading products, our design team created a superstructure that would make sure this glass-enclosed mammoth weathered the toughest of storms.
The Impact of Hurricane Irma
In fall 2017, Hurricane Irma barreled through South Beach, wreaking havoc and causing millions in damage. Something that wasn’t damaged? “Gone But Not Forgotten”. Armor Screen’s custom hurricane protection solution ensured this irreplaceable piece of art came through the storm unscathed.
