Damien Hirst is in a bidding war to get his first gallery space in Hyde Park, London. He needs a place to roll out his collection of Francis Bacon, Warhol, Giacometti and Jeff Koons and to display his Diamond Skull, which is so damn valuable expensive, you’ll have to pay admission to even gander at that bling-ed out brainpan. Seeing how Hirst tried to sell it for six times its worth and ended up buying it himself, he probably hates that shiny shit by now.

Yes, this skull piece is a great example of an artist who became so popular and wealthy that he made something that isn't art. If you get too rich, sometimes you lose the ability to judge what will be art and what will flop. You can't hit it out of the park everytime, but this is a complete out of step with his earlier work.
