Throughout his career, Damien Hirst has been involved in several significant deals and projects that have shaped the art world. One of his most notable projects was “For the Love of God,” a platinum cast of a human skull encrusted with diamonds, which reportedly sold for around £50 million. Additionally, Hirst’s collaboration with Sotheby’s in 2008, where he bypassed traditional galleries to sell his artworks directly at auction, was seen as a groundbreaking move in the art market. His ventures have not only pushed the boundaries of the art world but also redefined the relationship between artist, gallery, and collector.
