Damien Hirst - For the Love of God: The Making of the Diamond Skull
This book is a creative guide to the making of arguably the most extraordinary art object to be made in the 21st century.
Published to accompany the 2007 exhibition Damien Hirst: Beyond Belief at White Cube, London, it gives a fascinating pictorial insight into how Hirst's diamond skull piece "For the Love of God" was conceived and produced
The diamond skull named For the Love of God and produced by Hirst in 2007, consists of a platinum cast of an 18th-century human skull encrusted with 8,601 flawless diamonds.
Costing around £14 million to produce, the work was placed on its inaugural display at the White Cube gallery in London in an exhibition called Beyond Belief, and reportedly was sold soon after for over £50 million.
