British artist Damien Hirst’s latest work of art has sold for $100 million to an unnamed investment group and Hirst will reportedly get paid in cash. “For the Love of God” is a life-size cast of a human skull in platinum and covered by 8,601 pave-set diamonds weighing 1,106.18 carats. The single large diamond in the middle of the forehead is reportedly worth $4.2 million alone. Hirst financed the project himself, and estimates it cost between 10 and 15 million.

Serge is one of the best silk screen artist I know. He kills it on any medium: paper, stone, wood,tee,kicks,etc…
Nothing is impossible for him. If once you are in Switzerland, go visit him.
