Damien Hirst 
, is once notorious for the conceptual works in which creatures including a shark and a cow were pickled in formaldehyde inside glass tanks, but now he possibly gains much more fames than any living artists. First, his Lullaby Spring, a three-metre (10-foot) wide steel cabinet containing 6,136 hand-crafted and individually-painted pills, sold for 19.2 million dollars, makes him a priciest living artist. Now his "For the Love of God"--an 18th-century European male skull cast in platinum and encrusted with 8,601 diamonds, including a large pink diamond worth more than $8 million in the center of its forehead, is sold for $100M or £50M.
