Damien Hirst's 'Demon with Bowl' sculpture exhibited at Palazzo Grassi in 2017

Damien Hirst presented his sculpture 'Demon with Bowl' as part of the exhibition 'Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable' at Palazzo Grassi in Venice during 2017. The work was photographed by Prudence Cuming Associates. The exhibition featured large-scale installations and sculptures by Hirst, exploring themes of mythology, archaeology, and belief. The Palazzo Grassi, a historic Venetian palace, served as the primary venue for this major solo presentation. Hirst's exhibition generated significant attention for its ambitious scale and theatrical presentation of fictional artifacts. The show ran concurrently with the 2017 Venice Biennale, though it was a separate exhibition. 'Demon with Bowl' represented one of many monumental pieces created specifically for this project. The exhibition marked Hirst's return to Venice after previous presentations in the city.
