Damien Hirst
Damien Hirst...out of his mind?
For the Love of God
It is a Human Skull from the 18 century, covered in a Platinum cast encrusted with 8,601 Flawless Diamonds -- including a Pink Pear shaped Diamond in the center of the forehead weighing over 52 Carats! (That's like 50 nice engagement rings) He got the name when his father said to him "For the love of God, what will you do next?"
Cows
Hirst became famous in the 1990s by slicing cows and other animals in half and displaying them in formaldehyde.
Pills
Then he displayed a bunch of pills in a Pharmacy Cabinet.
Spin Art
Then he made Spin Art Paintings like the ones we made when we were kids. One of these is a Damien Hirst, one was made by a regular kid. Can you tell the difference?
Hint: Hirst is on the left.
$100,000,000
Is he Insane? Brilliant? Moronic? Hirst must know what he's doing, though, since "For the Love of God" sold for $100 Million Dollars!!
Ha Ha Ha!
