http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/06/01/skull.art.reut/index.html Artist unveils $98M diamond skull LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Damien Hirst, former BritArt bad boy whose works infuriate and inspire in equal measure, did it again on Friday with a diamond-encrusted platinum cast of a human skull priced at a cool $98 million.The skull, cast from a 35-year-old 18th-century European male, is coated with 8,601 diamonds, including a large pink diamond worth more than $8 million in the center of its forehead."It shows we are not going to live for ever.
