making a $99 million dollar point

When I first saw Damien Hirst's "For The Love of God" (below), a human skull encrusted in diamonds (estimated to be $10-15 million worth) priced at $99,000,000, I decided that Damien Hirst was a douchebag. When I first saw the prank piece "For the Love of God", placed outside of White Cube Gallery where the original piece was shown, I knew that I loved the mysterious artist "Laura" who spend one month attaching 6522 Swarovski crystals to make it.
