Expensive Art

Whoa!

For the Love of God is a sculpture by artist Damien Hurst produced in 2007. And yes that is a real human skull. Well the cast of one. The original was the skull of an 18th century, mid-30-year-old man. The once living human skull was used only to create a platinum cast model of the skull to which the 8,601 flawless diamonds were attached. However, all these diamonds are truly secondary to the enormous 52.40 carat flawless light fancy pink, brilliant-cut, pear-shaped diamond that is the final work’s centerpiece.

And the cost of this piece at auction?

$100 million

But what does this mean? Isn't art supposed to be used to convey something? Isn't the purpose of art to somehow comment on society and the times we live in... well folks Richard Dorment, art critic of the Daily Telegraph, I think, stated the meaning of this piece best:

"If anyone but Hurst had made this curious object, we would be struck by its vulgarity.[...] But not just anyone made it - Hurst did. Knowing this, we look at it in a different way and realize that in the most brutal, direct way possible, For the Love of God questions something about the morality of art and money."

If you are familiar with Hurst and his art you would expect nothing less. Death is a central theme in Hurst's works. Now that I think of it Hurst is just the thing to look at this close to Halloween, with his perfectly preserved dead animals, sliced up, torn apart, and dissected. Check him out if that sparks your curiosity.

For my simple friends

They did it! mouse trap set and primed with delicious cheese...

Rep old school with Life the Great

Life The Great is one hell of an unsigned underground rapper. This ATL-based rapper produces beats and spitting flows that throwback to the 80s. Touching on beepers, Nintendo and the infamous 9 lives contra code "Up Down Up Down Left Right Left Right B A Start", Deloreans, and thick ass gold ropes. His niche can be heard in his first album called "The Ultrasound" and has been released. His first single off the album, "Stupid Fresh" already has a video remenicent of the home made music videos my brother and and I used to make. His flow is slow, but deep, taking the listener back to the beginnings of Rap and Hip-Hop, some have even related his style to the one and only Notorious B.I.G.

These joints go boom in my car
-> Life The Great- "Mega Man"

Now, I don't know about that title, but he is just one in the many rappers or rap groups that have recently emerged...we will cover this 'Rap Revival' or 'Retro Hip-Hop' genre later hopefully looking at some others that are sweeping the Hip-Hop carts...
