Damien Hirst launches shipwreck spectacle in Venice

Let yourself be marvelled. With these words the curator Elena Geuna welcomed the press to Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable (9 April-3 December), a sprawling exhibition of new work by Damien Hirst in Venice, the artists first major show in nearly a decade.
 
This monumentally ambitious tribute to the sculpture of ancient Greece and Rome, to the Aztecs, to civilisations in China, Africa, India, Bali, and more, shows us Hirsts imagination unleashed on an unprecedented scale.
