SOME of the modern world's most famous artists will display work for the first time in Tyneside.

Art by Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and David Hockney will go on show at the Customs House, South Shields, in May.

The work is on loan from the Eyestorm company, which sells artwork around the world over the Internet.

The company was set up in 1999 and works with artists to produce exhibition-quality, limited-edition prints which are sold online and from showrooms in Newcastle and New York.

The Eyestorm Collection will be display at the Customs House from May 2 to June 8.
