A signed, leatherbound two-volume edition of the drawings for Damien Hirst's ambitious project in Venice
These Renaissance-style drawings, complete with scrawled annotations and collection stamps, depict each of the 100 artworks "discovered" from a wrecked ship. Rendered in a range of traditional mediums, including silverpoint, charcoal, lapis lazuli pigment and gold leaf, these exquisite drawings form part of Hirst's (born 1965) most ambitious project to date, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable, presented at the Pinault Collection's two Venetian museums―Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana―from April to December 2017. The exhibition marked the first time in the collection's history that both museums have been dedicated to a single artist.
