Damien Hirst still knows how to shock the audience. Humanity has just got used to the existence of a platinum skull, studded with diamonds, worth $ 100 million, and Hirst is already making a new slap in the face of public opinion and public taste. He creates another similar skull, but not an adult, but a child.
The very name of Damien Hirst has in recent years become a brand with a value comparable to the price of a controlling stake in a large multinational corporation. Whatever this creator takes will be sold for fabulous money, be it the carcass of a dead cow or the dumb-boo-dyed Audi A1. more and more provocative, shocking and tough. So creativity brings more money. Here, the main thing is not to keep yourself within limits. And, if people "ate" a very controversial piece of jewelry in the form of a platinum skull, and someone even gave a hundred million dollars for it, then you can continue to exploit this topic, but at a new level.
So Damien Hirst created his new work - another precious skull, but this time for children. Anthropologists say that the child who could own this platinum skull, studded with eight thousand white and pink diamonds, would be about two weeks old. And this is a very controversial creative step, even for Hirst. And, despite the fact that this work, titled "For Heaven's Sake" ("For God's sake") has not yet been officially presented to the public, disapproving voices of all kinds of public organizations are already heard around the world. who believe that its author has infringed upon the sacred - on children. However, maybe this stream of negativity is a pre-prepared marketing campaign aimed at promoting Hirst's new work. After all, the more loud criticism, the more expensive his works will be sold. Well, for mass contemplation, this precious children's skull will be exhibited for the first time at the end of this month at the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong.
