Damien Hirst Requiem at the PinchukArtCentre in Ukraine

"Art's about invention and we are all desperately trying to invent a
better future, and to learn from the past." (Damien Hirst)

The PinchukArtCentre (Kyiv, Ukraine) is pleased to announce Requiem,
a major retrospective of over 100 works dating from 1990 to 2008, by
Damien Hirst. Requiem opens on 25th April and continues through 20th
September 2009.

Requiem brings together many of the artist's most celebrated works.
Ranging from early iconic sculptures such as A Thousand Years, 1990
and Away from the Flock, 1994 to more recent works like the
monumental butterfly triptych, Doorways to the Kingdom of Heaven,
2007 as well as Death Explained, 2007, a sculpture of a shark cut in
half in formaldehyde, the exhibition shows the extraordinary breadth
of Hirst's artistic enterprise.

Since the start of his career, Hirst has pushed the boundaries of art
and what it means to be an artist. Requiem bears witness to a bold new
direction in his work by showing for the first time a series of skull
paintings he created between 2006 and 2008. In works such as Floating
Skull, 2006, The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, 2008 and Men Shall Know
Nothing, 2008, Hirst returns to the solitary practice of painting and
confronts, in very personal terms, the darkness that lies at the
heart of human nature and experience.

Victor Pinchuk: "This exhibition is of great significance but what is
most important for me is that the opportunity to see Hirst's new body
of work occurs first in Kyiv. Damien's exhibition in Kyiv symbolises
the reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationship between
contemporary Ukrainian culture and that of the rest of the world.
They share a common ground."

The exhibition will be open from 25 April till 20 September 2009.
Viewing hours: Tuesday-Sunday: 12:00 - 21:00 Closed - Monday
Admission is free

Press-view will be held on 23 April.
