Requiem I catalogues each of Hirst's works exhibited at the Pinchuk Art Center, Kiev, Ukraine, in April 2009: over 90 in total. Featuring iconic early pieces from the 1990s through to the new, previously unseen skull paintings, the book is testament to the vast range of Hirst's output. Michael Bracewell's extensive essay examines the conceptual and technical developments in the artist's career within the wider context of his cultural influence.
