Reviews
Damien Hirst's Treasures From the Wreck of the Unbelievable is the most talked-about art show on earth.... [an] extravaganza of 'post-truth' art, beautiful and monstrous... Hirst's spectacular mix of storytelling, invention and humour is art for a post-truth world, Hirst, who since his early formaldehyde-preserved animal carcasses has emphasized the theatrical qualities of exhibition display, asks us to reappraise assumptions about fact and fiction, taste, and what distinguishes art from artifact, This body of work stands to have a meaningful impact. In a world where truthiness has metastasized into fake news - and alternative facts are as common in the White House as the tabloids - a Barnum-scale assault on credulity may be more important than aesthetic subtlety or even artistic originality.

Synopsis
This fully illustrated catalog accompanies Damien Hirst's (born 1965) most ambitious project to date, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable . The exhibition of 189 works is now on display in Venice, across the two expansive museum spaces of the Pinault Collection: Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi. Exceptional in scale and scope, this complex project has been almost ten years in the making and tells the story of an ancient shipwreck and its recent discovery. The catalog features 200 color plates, installation images and a comprehensive, illustrated list of works with texts on selected pieces. Also included is an essay by underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio, who discovered the lost city of Thonis-Heracleion off the Egyptian shore in 2000. In addition are contributions from historian Simon Schama and curator Henri Loyrette, former director of the Louvre, as well as the exhibition's curator, Elena Geuna., This fully illustrated catalogue accompanies Damien Hirst's most ambitious and complex project to date, 'Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable'.
