The most influential member of a school of artists originating from Goldsmiths, University of London in the 1980s, Damien Hirst has become a household name. His work focuses on the fundamental elements of life, including death and love, which he expresses in controversial sculptures, installations and paintings. The present work, For the Love of God by Damien Hirst, is a lenticular print illustrating the artist's 2007 sculpture of the same name which is composed of a platinum cast of a human skull encrusted with diamonds. The work functions as a memento mori or reminder of mortality, while also drawing attention to the human interest in money and capital.
