Better Than The Original: Sending Up Hirst's "For the Love of God" Skull

The following display was placed outside the White Cube Masons Yard late Sunday night. The gallery is hosting Damien Hirst's "For the Love of God," a diamond-encrusted skull valued at somewhere between sixteen and twenty million dollars. Artist Laura mocked it up using more than six thousand Swarovski crystals; I estimate it easily cost her under $300 to make.

Wooster Collective, thinking small as usual, calls it a prank. I call it art. And although "Love" is the best thing Hirst has done in years, this is still better than the original it comments on. By a long shot.

It's great to have found a new home so soon. Obviously, if I could live anywhere, I would have emptied Niemeyer's Niteroi Museum and made it my own. But that's just not going to happen, so Think in Pictures will just have to do...

There are a few more photographs of Niemeyer's buildings here.

Add-on: There is a very cool Niemeyer inspired typography here. Just find the link to Utopia.
