Damien Hirst brings us the ultimate in morbid-bling, a platinum cast of a human skull encrusted with 8,601 diamonds, entitled 'For The Love of God'. Interestingly enough, I spent quite a bit of time with the inspiration for this work at Steven Gregory's inaugural exhibition at the Foundations old gallery in London. It is fascinating the way that skulls still seem to contain a personality, even if they are covered in precious stones. [via Geekologie]
