Artist Damien Hirst recently housed his Beyond Belief Exhibition at the White Cube Gallery in East London. At the art exhibit, a stunning diamond skull created by the artist himself was on display. The diamond skull worth $98 million dollars contained 8,601 smaller diamonds, 14 medium sized diamonds and a huge 52 carat pear-shaped stone on the forehead. Most people would not even imagine owning this piece of artwork therefore t-shirts and prints featuring the diamond-studded skull were produced. We believe that the tees are only available at the exhibition which ended on July 7th but the prints are available online at White Cube.
