Art: You want bling bling you got it!

This is a couple of weeks old, but since this blog is new i do not care. Damien Hirst is a cool dude. I do not care what people say. Thay claim he is faux because he uses a lot of assistans to do his work for him. Mind you haters that alot of artist before Damien has done that and are now considerd some of the greatest that ever lived to of them being Michelangelo and Andy Warhol.
Damiens latest work is this Dimond encrusted human skull titled For the love of god that was unveiled the 1 june at Londond White Cube gallery. The peice will go on sale for a woppin 98 million us dollars! The largest price tag ever for a contemporary artwork.

Inspired by ancient turquoise-encrusted ceremonial Aztec skulls, Hirst had the platinum cast skull of a 35-year-old 18th century European male (the teeth are real) adorned with a reported 8,601 pave-set diamonds covering every visible surface of the object, inside and out. The focal point of the anatomical work is a massive $8,000,000 pear-shaped pink diamond which the artist named “The Skull Star Diamond,” set into the skull’s forehead, and surrounded by 14 smaller flawless white pear-shaped diamonds.

According to Hirst, the diamonds are all “ethically sourced” from conflict-free zones and cost the artist a whopping $28,000,000 USD (the work is entirely self-financed).
I friggin love you Daimen keep doing it!
