Prank on Damien Hirst

Last month, artist Damien Hirst unveiled the most expensive contemporary artwork ever made, a skull bedazzled with more than 8,000 fine diamonds. It's expected to sell for as much as $100 million. In response to the skull's exhibition at London's White Cube Gallery in Mason's Yard, an artist named Laura created a replica covered with 6,522 Swarovski crystals and dumped it outside the gallery in the middle of the night on top of a pile of trash.

Brilliant!! Stealing Hirst's thunder by revealing it for what it is, infantile banging of a spoon on a pot...he is too silly..but this as a statement is genius!
