About This Item
(HIRST, DAMIEN). Hirst, Damien, Rudi Fuchs, Tania Kausmally, Hedley Swain, Bill White, Marcel Yolkowsky, Dr. Helen Liversidge, Thomas Higham, Steven Dutch, Dr. Theya Molleson & Professor Richard Wright. Joshua Beard, Editor. DAMIEN HIRST: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD: THE MAKING OF THE DIAMOND SKULL - SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. Signed by the Artist. London: Other CRITERIA & White Cube, 2007. First Edition. 8vo. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine/Fine. 78pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Jason Beard. This is the elegant hardbound catalogue published in conjunction with the 2007 White Cube gallery exhibition "Damien Hirst: Beyond Belief" - the showing of his now infamous Bentley & Skinner fabricated diamond-encrusted human skull. It is a "creative guide to the making of arguably the most extraordinary art object to be made in the 21st century. It 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. A number of leading experts in the fields of archeology and dentistry have also contributed detailed studies on the diamond skull, including analyses of its age and ancestry". A brand new, most handsome example of the Other Criteria limited edition BOLDLY SIGNED "Damien Hirst" in black ink across the title page, as issued. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. 1-904212-25-5 Inventory Number: 021703
