Some years ago I went to Tate modern in London and saw a massive queue in the engine room,where was a medium size black sort of a kiosk. Having no idea what's inside the booth,yet too curious to ignore it, I join the queue and after 10-15 min. I get to go inside.I walk in and there's 'For the Love of God',which essentially a skull covered in diamonds. The room was black and had some special lightning to make the skull shine.The whole thing looked so ridiculous and was on the same level as something made in China for $10,the ultimate bling bling.I didn't even stop to observe it and left the booth. Diamonds nowadays are like Gucci or louis vuitton products: even if what you are wearing is original,you still look ridiculous..

- cosmodisk 7y agoYup, that's the one.
- noir_lord 7y agoJesus that’s terrible, no absolutes in taste though I’m sure someone likes it.

- stordoff 7y agoI do have to wonder if it wasn't made by Damien Hirst[1] whether we'd even be discussing it. Even setting aside my perceived vulgarity (a criticism I would apply to much of Hirst's work), it doesn't seem particularly new or interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst
