Hello, my name is Damien Hurst and I'm  ... you're a what Damien? What statements are you making?

DH's latest creation is a skull, titled "For the Love Of God", see this story (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6712015.stm). It's on display at the White Cube Gallery (http://www.whitecube.com/). It is undoubtedly an amazing object, platinum and 8,601 diamonds.

I have an idea  ... I guess it's a joke, I mean a piece of art with that intrinsic value must be a fake right? I mean there are people starving in the world and this thing has a price tag for the prospective buyer of £50 million. So I'm guessing that after he's taken his expenses out and bought a new car, good old Damien is going to give the rest away to the needy? Right?

Now that would be a redistribution of wealth that I could relate to. :)
