British artist, Damien Hirst, has taken the 18th century skull of a 35-year-old man and covered it in 8,601 pave-set diamonds. The work is currently being shown at The White Cube gallery in London. The piece cost an estimated $28 million to create.
It will go on sale for a staggering $100 million and if it sells it will become the most expensive piece of art sold by a living artist.
