For the Love of God: Platinum, diamonds and human teeth

I want one for Xmas please. kthx.

That’s the skull of a girl. Cause diamonds are a girl’s best friends.

Damien Hirst is one of the worst people alive right now.

Psh. Explain yourself! I don’t know much about it, but I don’t see how an artist could be one of the worst people alive. Obviously it’s an exageration.

The skull looks expensive. I think Greenberg would have called it “Kitsch”(?) because of the gems. I see it as glamour in death, possibly common with now a days gods, being celebreties. So many are paid tribute after their death, as if a strangers life meant something to another stranger.

The aforementioned man is the paragon of the abominable decline in aesthetics among artists these days, heir to Duchamp’s toilet rather than Michelangelo’s ceiling. He put a dead shark in a tank of formaldyhyde and calls it art. The English believe it and pay him top dollar. The English. Nothing ever changes.

He also does spinart. May you be forgotten, sir.

What have you done lately?

That’s not art, that’s stupid. :frowning:

Deja vu?

The British are undergoing a period of bad taste in general lately. Look at their 2012 Olympics logo :confused:

I can smell the tears from here.

Nothing I don’t see in the mirror every morning, at noon, and from 4:30 to 6pm Saturdays.

This is scary, but also pretty awesome. Gimme gimme gimme!

I can’t wait for his next work “The Man with the Golden Banana”
