Judgement Day diamonds by Damien Hirst…
The exhibition takes its title from the central sculpture in the exhibition, a severed bull’s head with golden horns and crowned with a solid gold disc. Suspended in formaldehyde and encased in a golden vitrine, this totemic sculpture acts as a powerful coda to The Golden Calf. End of an Era proffers a sacrificial head, here dismembered from the majestic body of the earlier sculpture. While The Golden Calf symbolized the worshipping of a false idol, with End of an Era Hirst demystifies the biblical tale and, by extension, debunks his own myth-making. (via)
It is currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery through March.
