Evoking the classic dive books popularized by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, this limited-edition, leatherbound publication follows the underwater expedition that accompanied Damien Hirst's latest project, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable. Shot in the Indian Ocean over a number of years, the extraordinary underwater images of the artworks' recovery were photographed by Christoph Gerigk, who has twice been awarded the World Press Photo Foundation's prize for international photojournalism for his work on Egypt's sunken cities. Also featured are photographs of the above-water operation by Steve Russell Studios.
