Description:

Diamond Skull is a striking screen print by Damien Hirst, one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time. This work is directly inspired by his famous 2007 sculpture For the Love of God, a platinum cast human skull encrusted with 8,601 flawless diamonds, which became one of the most iconic artworks of the 21st century.

The monochromatic print captures the dazzling brilliance of the original sculpture, emphasizing themes of mortality, materialism, and the intersection of art and luxury. Hirst’s obsession with life and death is evident, as the skull—historically a symbol of human mortality—is transformed into an object of extreme opulence.
