Description: This hardback volume, boasting a ribbed leather spine, presents the second collection of a series of drawings on paper by Damien Hirst (born 1965), rendered in a range of mediums including silverpoint, charcoal and ink. The drawings form part of Hirst's most ambitious project to date, 'Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable', presented at the Pinault Collection's two Venetian museums--the Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana--from April to December 2017. The exhibition marked the first time in the Collection's history that both museums had been dedicated to the work of a single artist.
