For the Love of God, The Diamond Skull

Internationally recognised for his irreverent approach to artmaking, blurring the lines between media and expanding their possibilities, Damien Hirst has helped set contemporary art on a practically limitless course. Through a decisive interplay of technology, technique and material, Hirst’s artworks engage with his signature themes of love, death, religion, science, belief and beauty to create works that are both visually and conceptually compelling. Set against a black backdrop, Hirst’s For the Love of God, The Diamond Skull depicts the artist’s iconic sculpture consisting of a human skull encrusted in diamonds.
