The sparkling pop-art laughing skull is an iconic contemporary memento mori silkscreen print with genuine glittering diamond dust by Damien Hirst. The jovial skull lights up the room with twinkling refraction and edgy subject matter, the blue-chip artwork is signed by the artist on the center front and is of a limited edition of only 250 ever created. This quintessential punk meets contemporary piece shines with refined details and a captivating presence that evokes awe in the viewer as the ever-changing nature of the brilliant diamond dust brings it to life. The artwork depicts the legendary sculpture by Hirst, ‘For the Love of God' (2007), a diamond-encrusted human skull, recognized as the most expensive work of art ever created by a living artist. The thirty-two platinum plates making up the ‘For the Love of God’ skull are set with 8,601 VVS to flawless pavé-set diamonds, weighing a massive 1,106.18 carats. Hirst intended 'For the Love of God' to be a memento mori, capitalizing upon the themes that have preoccupied Hirst throughout his career: beauty and the inevitability of death. The laughing skull serves as a reminder that our mortal existence on earth is transient and that looking at death should allow the living to be thrown back into life with vigor and energy.
