*APC ART is pleased to present the official exhibition poster for Damien Hirst’s landmark Albertina Museum exhibition, “Sketching the Unseen.”*

“*Sketching the Unseen*” was a major institutional exhibition held at the *Albertina Museum in Vienna*, one of the most respected and historically significant museums in Europe. The exhibition offered an unprecedented look into Damien Hirst’s *creative process*, focusing on works on paper, preparatory sketches, and conceptual studies that underpin his most iconic bodies of work. Rather than presenting only finished masterpieces, the exhibition revealed the intellectual and experimental foundations behind Hirst’s practice—allowing viewers to engage directly with the evolution of his ideas.

The show traced Hirst’s career-spanning exploration of life, death, science, beauty, and chaos, highlighting how drawing and sketching function as critical tools in his studio practice. For many collectors and scholars, this exhibition was particularly important as it exposed the *invisible architecture* behind works that have become globally recognized symbols of contemporary art. The Albertina’s curatorial approach framed Hirst not only as a provocateur, but as a disciplined draftsman and conceptual thinker.

Produced as a *lithograph in colors on 150gsm semi-gloss wove paper*, this official museum-issued poster measures *59.4 cm x 84.1 cm (23.4” x 33.1”)* and features one of Hirst’s unmistakable spin-style compositions—an explosive radial convergence of vivid greens, blues, and yellows. The imagery powerfully reflects the exhibition’s central thesis: the moment where intention, chance, and movement intersect.

Damien Hirst is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the last several decades and a defining figure of the Young British Artists movement. His work is held in the world’s most important museum collections, and exhibitions at institutions such as the Albertina further cement his place within art history rather than simply the contemporary market.

From a collecting standpoint, *official museum exhibition posters* like this occupy a highly desirable category. They function as historical documents tied to significant institutional moments, offering strong visual impact, clear provenance, and long-term relevance. Albertina-issued Hirst material is particularly sought after due to the museum’s international prestige and curatorial rigor.

The work is *in hand* and will *ship immediately from the United States*. We are pleased to offer *archival framing options* to ensure museum-quality presentation and preservation.

*A compelling opportunity to acquire a museum-published work directly connected to one of Damien Hirst’s most intellectually revealing exhibitions.*
