Meaning & Analysis

For The Love of God (four, white) is unique as it presents multiple different views of his famous For The Love Of God sculpture in one singular print. Through the various different orientations of the skull, the viewer gets a sense of the totality of the use of diamonds. The platinum cast of a real skull is replete with 8,601 diamonds. The jaw of the skull is slightly open and the white teeth, the original teeth from the 18th century person, are visible. The skull functions as a central image that has enabled Hirst to consider several themes throughout the years, often revisiting the sculpture and creating more prints.

Not only have skulls been a recurring theme in Hirst’s oeuvre, but he has continually returned to the For The Love Of God sculpture, producing more prints of it. The presence of multiple different views of the skull in one image renders this print truly unique. The work may be compared to Hirst’s 2007 print, For The Love Of God (four, black), which adopts the same composition. However, the use of a white background gives the skull an entirely different effect.

  • Damien Hirst, born in Bristol in 1965, is often hailed the enfant terrible of the contemporary art world. His provocative works challenge conventions and his conceptual brilliance spans installations, paintings, and sculptures, often exploring themes of mortality and the human experience. As a leading figure of the Young British Artists (YBA) movement in the late '80s, Hirst's work has dominated the British art scene for decades and has become renowned for being laced with controversy, thus shaping the dialogue of modern art.
