For the Love of God...it's just art

Extravagant, over-the-top art pieces, like the skull in Damien Hirst's For the Love of God show, may attract faithful followers to the White Cube gallery in London, however, your run-of-the-mill skeptics can be expected to scoff, avoid the exhibit, and maybe utter a malicious phrase or two. A certain skeptic named Laura took it, oh, we'd say a couple steps further by setting up her own rogue show on the sidewalk right outside the gallery in response to Hirst's $100 million, 1100+ carat skull. The reactive artist spent a month crafting her 6522 Swarovski crystal version of the skull which was haphazardly propped in a vitrine atop a trash pile that appears ready for pick-up.
