To accompany Tate Modern's major survey of Damien Hirst's work, the artist's iconic diamond-covered skull 'For the Love of God' (2007) was shown in the Turbine Hall.
you prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
I was fortunate enough to see this at the White Cube in London... utterly unforgettable. One of the most beautiful and thought provoking things I have ever seen. Quite fancy it on my mantelpiece to be honest....
Nice responses... Damien is completely genuine. This commitment when encountered, changes the way we see not only his work but him as a dedicated artist. It changes the way our brains work. When you look at the single charity Damien supports you come a long way in understanding what this is all about. Do you see... the ultimate touch points of nature brought together in new forms... dead bones and perfect diamonds...
I'd just like to let people know that the musical accompaniment to this clip is by West Yorkshire solo guitarist Dean McPhee; it's called Water Burial, and can be found on a split 7" that he released in 2009. There's a lovely variation of it, Sky Burial, on his Brown Bear mini-album, which was reissued by Blast First Petite in 2010.
My God, what an Art! He is completely immersed in the art, his perception is breathtaking not to mention his masterful skills, to make such a platinum cast of a skull is a hard work and to insert 8601 diamonds into a skull with such precision takes years of skill and dedication, Congratulations. I wonder whose teeth they are, if they had my DNA in them, I would demand 50 million for defamation
got sent here by my chemistry teacher while studying thermodynamics because diamond is thermodynamically unstable and spontaneously forms carbon when burnt. Amazing the different subjects you can link this to
death and wealth (life). a duality. while the skull can also be called a life symbol. so i suppose they can be interchanged. the skull we all need to be able to live and the wealth we all need to survive and work ourselves to death for.
I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest and found myself quite enthrawled with how beautiful this piece is but have to agree with the comment on where the diamonds came from and will be interesting to see where this work ends up?
Because of the title"For the love of God",it meant something different to me.Jesus was crucified at a place called Golgotha which means the place of the skull.Jesus was always under pressure, the crucifixion of Jesus is always difficult to explain.People can't understand why Jesus had to die.It's seen as something negative,but when you read the story of Jesus you can understand the value of your life through his death.I'm glad I get to hear Hirst explain his art.Does he know these things?
I hate the fact that people say Hirst's work isn't any good because he didn't make it himself, without him it wouldn't have happened. And to be honest, this particular work is a great milestone in art and will go down in history. In a capitalist society I really think it does reflect the world around us, linking life and death with money and beauty. And about getting others involved in the making of art, where's the line? Cutting the tree to make the canvas yourself? As Gavin Turk said.

If you put diamonds on anything, it will make even the most grotesque of things beautiful. I just don't know what it is about this art work that I don't like. It seems like its more for the spirit of ego and vaity rather than art it self.
"As an artist you always make work from what's around you and, you know, money was around me"

Can you link me to where he said this? Thanks in advance.

What kind of thoughts were begotten in your mind when watching it before your own eyes?
The defeat of death by beauty and human power.

Your words about the work of Damien Hirst are truly insightful.Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this here .I wonted so much to find out more about the musical accompaniment.
Thank you!!!
Proverbs chapter 8v36 God says; "Those who hate me, love death"
It might as well have been glued to the skull of one of those people in Africa who died digging up his art. Would have been very conceptual eh?
Or any of the many many animals killed in the name of his art

He is a fraud.

All you have to do is get in with some big gallery owner who pushes up the price then everyone will love what you do.
Sadly ,but what you say is so often the whole unlovely truth...
Funny, he skipped gallery exhibitions.
He is one of my favourite artist. Very inspired by Francis Bacon who is my favorite one.
death and wealth (life). a duality. while the skull can also be called a life symbol. so i suppose they can be interchanged. the skull we all need to be able to live and the wealth we all need to survive and work ourselves to death for.
You are right
I have a shirt for this and it took me years to actually look up what it was. So here I am.
I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest and found myself quite enthrawled with how beautiful this piece is but have to agree with the comment on where the diamonds came from and will be interesting to see where this work ends up?
Where you would want this work to end up?

Damien Hirst gets fly punched! ua-cam.com/video/kkipMXzrQNA/v-deo.html
haha have to agree on that one maybe to make it less suspicious for traveling purposes.. though we expect it to be covered foam and in a chest...

What people say that?
Warhol didn't make his own paintings neither, he had over 20 assistants, it's the concept that counts.
He has no fucking talent! piss off
Jeeves ' exactly, I have met many that dismiss his work because of this reason sadly! This is what people don't realise!
irishelk that's a very constructive argument haha naaahhhht.
Keztrel (The story of) I couldnt give a bollocks.
If you get a reaction, you can call it art!
used to love 2000ad and Thargs future shocks...
Seen yunglord post sum about this had to see wtw
must be nice taking others people ideas and blatantly copying them and making money for yourself
PS deanmcphee (dot) com for more info!
Is money an art form?
James Day wealth as medium
Making it is
Would this be science or art?

As Andy Warhol said,” Death means a lot of money honey”
