Damien Hirst sparks controversy with his blinged baby skull

TEMPLESPA The Most Revealing - A New Oxygen Peel - New product launch

Damien Hirst introduces more quirky art.

Controversial British artists Damien Hirst has come under scrutiny again for his current work- For ‘Heaven’s Sake’, an infant’s skull cast in platinum and studded with more than 8,000 diamonds pink and white diamonds.

The baby’s skull is said to be that of a newborn less than two weeks old which is part of 19th-century pathology.

I’m not sure if people find it offensive because it’s the skull of an infant (this is not the first time Hirst has used a skull) or because he owns a collection of human skulls from the 19th century either way I think it’s really cool made even more awesome by the fact that it now costs at least $50million.
