For The Love of God When artist Damien Hirst unveiled his platinum and diamond skull and its amazing price tag, I was skeptical that it would sell for the full $100 million. I should have learned by now to never underestimate the shrewd British artist. Hirst has gotten his asking price. The skull sold to an investment group of which Hirst is a part of for $100 million. Hirst is keeping a stake in the skull and plans to resell it at some future date. The skull, which is covered in 8,601 diamonds cost around $20 million to make. The work, titled "For The Love Of God" will be go on tour to museums and galleries around the world.
