A former BritArt bad boy has done it again. Damien Hirst unveiled Friday a platinum cast of a human skull that is encrusted with diamonds and is priced at $98 million. The skull was cast from a 35-year old 18th century European male. It is coated with 8,601 diamonds, including a large pink diamond in the forehead, worth more than 4 million pounds.
- I think this thing is awesome, this is my kinda art. Actually it reminds me of something I would do if I was bored and feeling the creative itch....but I can't afford diamond....so maybe crystals or rhinestones...who knows.
