Damien Hirst is one of the most important contemporary artists who has gained international recognition with his paintings, sculptures and installations. Less well known, however, are the drawings by the British artist, which the Albertina modern is now presenting for the first time.

The exhibition is accompanied by the 200-page catalogue, which offers a fascinating insight into Hirst's creative processes, starting with drawings and sketches created from the 1980s to the present day. These paintings, many of which were created in preparation for his groundbreaking works, are displayed alongside a selection of related sculptures and paintings.
