For the Love of God: The Making of The Diamond Skull

description

A book about the making of "Diamond Skull" by Damien Hirst published in conjunction with show held at White Cube, London, in 2007. Text by Rudi Fuchs. Edited and designed by Jason Beard. "This book is a creative guide to the making of arguably the most extraordinary art object to be made in the 21st century. This book gives a fascinating pictorial insight into how Hirst's diamond skull piece "For the Love of God" was conceived and produced. Illustrated with candid behind-the-scenes photographs by Johnnie Shand Kydd, the book includes a number of preparatory drawings by Damien Hirst and a fold out image of the diamond skull. Accompanying this is an essay by the art historian Rudi Fuchs, who writes: "The skull is out of this world, celestial almost. I tend to see it as a glorious intense victory over death." A number of leading experts in the fields of archaeology and dentistry have also contributed detailed studies on the diamond skull, including analyses of its age and ancestry." -- publisher's statement
