Meaning & Analysis

The original diamond skull sculpture is one of Hirst’s most seminal works in his entire oeuvre. For Hirst, diamonds are the ultimate expression of positivity and perfection in the face of death. By combining the skull image with the iconic Comic Relief red nose, Hirst has produced a print that is both immediately recognisable as his own work and clearly indicates its charitable purpose.

Of his Comic Relief collaboration, Hirst in a BBC Radio 4 interview has said, “I thought it would be funny, you can’t take yourself seriously. Anything done well is art – and when you get great comedy, that’s art as well.” He added, “I thought years ago about trying to do an exhibition of art that made you laugh, there are some really great funny artworks, though I don’t make many of them.”
