    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.

    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 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.

      Warhol didn't make his own paintings neither, he had over 20 assistants, it's the concept that counts.

    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

    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?

    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.

  • @Jaylasplenty
    @Jaylasplenty 12 років тому +2

    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?

    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.
