Yes, all a repeat of tribal instincts, but this time, Hirst’s work demonstrates that the value we find in the modern pieces is monetary. It is not, for us, a representation of a ritual or a part of something spiritual, but a garish display of modern jewels. IMHO.

Too bad Damien Hirst wasn’t trying to be original either: http://anthropology.net/2007/06/01/damien-hirsts-diamond-encrusted-skull-jeweled-skulls-in-archaeology/

I don’t think they’re real jewels…. Anywho, these are nice to look at. Fine art or fassion, I’m not so sure. They look like craft projects. People used to make christmas ornaments the same way, with pins, beads, sequins, and foam shapes, but I think the ornaments are out of style.

ESTAS SON ALGUNAS DE LAS CALAVERAS QUE HE REALIZADO DESDE QUE VIVIA EN NUEVA YORK EN 1993 HASTA EL DIA DE HOY.
Han sido publicadas sus fotografías en grandes espacios, en revistas como Art in America, Art Nexus, Art Forum… Así como en catálogos de España, México, USA, Canadá, Venezuela y por toda la INTERNET.
La mayoría de las fotografías fueron realizadas por mi querida amiga Danielle Chappard.
Quiero hacer notar que estas calaveras con intervenciones de joyas, bisuterías o pinturas, fueron realizadas muchisiiimooo tiempo antes que la calavera cuadriculada de Gabriel Orozco o la ahora famosa calavera incrustada en diamantes de Damien Hirst

I rather like these. I also happen to know these were created before Damien Hirst’s “For the Love of God”. I also believe these have a conceptual foundation and aren’t merely the product of a shallow business endeavor to create the most expensive art object ever known to the human race.

Indeed. This is turning into a kitsch trend, isn’t it?
