On 25 February 2009 the names of the 20 shortlisted nominees for the
PinchukArtCentre Prize, a nationwide prize in contemporary art for
young Ukrainian artists, have been announced.
The £300 000 proceeds from selling the «Dark Days» by Damien Hirst will

Victor Pinchuk Foundation and aimed at providing aid to newborns in
Ukraine.
