46 ART + DECORATION I f you adore fine taxidermy, then Dutch taxidermists and photographers Jaap Sinke and Ferry van Tongeren are the ne plus ultra. Inspired by Dutch Old Master paintings and the work of Charles Darwin, the Sinke and van Tongeren studio creates masterpieces of nature frozen in time, working in old taxidermy techniques that enable them to create extraordinary poses. Damien Hirst owns nearly 40 works in his private collection, buying out the entire second show in London in 2015. They are represented by Jamb in London and J.F. Kugel in Brussels and Paris, and sell through 1stdibs.com. Or purchase their stunning first book, Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren, with gold-edged pages and 300 stunning photographs. Animals are collected posthumously from zoos and breeders. Holly Moore OBSESSION Scarlet Ibis by Jaap Sinke and Ferry van Tongeren
