Wooster Collective reports on an artists response to Damien Hirst’s Diamond skull…
Placed outside of the White Cube Gallery Masons yard at 3.30 am on Sunday night in response to the Damien Hirst’s “For The Love of God” diamond skull exhibition.
The “For the Love of God” prank was created using 6522 Swarovski crystals
and took Laura, the artist, a month to create.
Artist Damien Hirst unveiled the most expensive contemporary artwork ever made, a skull bedazzled with more than 8,000 fine diamonds. It’s expected to sell for at least $100 million. Last night, an artist created a replica covered with 6,522 Swarovski crystals and dumped it outside the gallery in the middle of the night on top of a pile of trash.
Let’s hope this doesn’t affect Damien’s selling price at auction now?

….hmmmm.
Wonder who could have done this?
Kinda has the hallmarks of you know who…
…ooops
Should have read the text properly. Apparently an artist called Laura did this, but given the fact that the Wooster Collective was the reporter….first reaction was that it was a Banksy prank.
…kind of says something.
…sorry Laura.
Banksy is not GOD!
I keep remembering this & laughing. Not because I think Hirst is garbage but because I think this is art, too. Really pointed art.
