Wahhhhhh. I just find this artwork super scary. This artwork was made by Damien Hirst last 2007. It's made out of platinum, diamonds and human teeth. The number of diamonds used for this artwork is 8,601. That's 1,116 karats. According to a site, it's the most expensive work of art. You will need about 16-20 million USD to create it. To purchase it you need 99 million USD. What exactly is Damien Hirst's purpose in making "For the Love of God"? It was created to depict the ultimate victory of death or the maximum celebration you could make after death. I beg to disagree. I don't see the work as a depiction of ultimate victory of death. To me, it's nothing but a glittering overpriced material object intended for the artist to make money out of. If I had 99 million USD to spend, I won't spend it on this crap. Yes, diamonds are a woman's best friend but I just don't appreciate diamonds attached to a scary skull. I'd rather go shopping, travel, buy myself a car and of course, feed the children in Africa. <3>
