Damien Hirst is known for some of the most audacious works of art produced in the past 30 years that have become iconic markers of contemporary art. A consistent aspect of his work alludes to the value of art and life and our means of dealing with the inevitability of death, including physically, culturally and philosophically. This screenprint of his notorious diamond skull sculpture of the same title exemplifies these aspects of his practice with Hirst’s recognizable dark humor in full effect.
