For The Love Of God

Artist Damien Hirst has unveiled a diamond-encrusted human skull worth £50m – said to be the most expensive piece of contemporary art.
The 18th Century skull is entirely covered in 8,601 jewels, while new teeth were made for the artwork at a cost of £14m.
The centrepiece of the 41-year-old’s creation is a pear-shaped pink diamond, set in the skull’s forehead.
Hirst said his piece, called For the Love of God, is “uplifting, takes your breath away”.
