Holy shit. For the Love of God is in an edition of three.

Posted by: A White Bear at September 11, 2007 10:55 PMGood point, Rhythm. Do you say that it's an edition of three only when the other two have been realized?
Posted by: Kriston at September 12, 2007 1:09 AMI'm of three minds about it.
Posted by: Kriston at September 12, 2007 1:14 AMThat the option hasn't been revealed before now is some fine skullduggery.

Posted by: sangfroid826 at September 12, 2007 4:09 AMYeah, Special K. It's an edition of three only if 3 are made. If the first skull belonged to some 18th century nobleman, do you think he'd go all multi-cultural and use some African or Asian skulls for the other two?
Posted by: R™ at September 13, 2007 1:22 PMPlus, there's some "dispute" over whether it even "sold." From Wikipedia: "David Lee, editor of The Jackdaw, commented 'Everyone in the art world knows Hirst hasn't sold the skull. It's clearly just an elaborate ruse to drum up publicity and rewrite the book value of all his other work.'"
