A £50million Diamond-Studded Skull Art Work

A £50m diamond-studded Skull Art Work|

Wow! Take a look at this real expensive £50million price tag art work. The multi-millionaire artist, Damien Hirst, 41, bought the skull which is a platinum replica of a human skull two years ago in a London taxidermy shop. Then he produced the most expensive art work of 8,601 flawless diamonds studded on the skull. It's said the diamonds were three times the number on the crown the Queen wears on state occasions.



Even the eye sockets and the holes for nose have been filled with hundreds of jewels. There is a 52-caret pear-shaped stone set into the forehead, surrounded by a 14 diamonds.

Despites the critics, the artist said' For the Love of God is' a celebration against death'. ' I hope it makes the people who see it feel good, that it's uplifting, that is take your breath away,', he said.

Some critics are dismissing it as a publicity stunt from the man best known for picking
cows and sheep in the name or art and others insisted it provided a profound statement about death.

The editor of the British Art Journal, Robin Simon said ' As a piece of workmanship it is very good, but it is just window dressing. As art it is extremely dull.'

Well, what do you think? I think a skull is a skull and diamonds are diamonds. Nothing impressive then his art work only it's covered by expensive diamonds sparking looking at you.
