Prank on Artist Who Created $100 Million Diamond Skull

Artist Damien Hirst unveiled the most expensive contemporary artwork ever made, a skull bedazzled with more than 8,000 fine diamonds. It's expected to sell for at least $100 million. Last night, an artist created a replica covered with 6,522 Swarovski crystals and dumped it outside the gallery in the middle of the night on top of a pile of trash.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think some of Hirst's art is interesting, but this prank is INFINITELY more clever than the original piece. Fucking GENIUS.
