| Damien Hirst's Rx Charm Bracelet Leave it to Damien Hirst to actually produce something as hot as an 18 carat gold charm bracelet featuring Rx drugs. "Made with 18 carat gold, this charm bracelet carries 23 casts of pills, perhaps the most familiar and recurring motif of Hirst's ongoing fascination with the dichotomy between art and science." It's an edition of only 10 pieces from 2004 and with a price tag of $47,500 + VAT, it's no wonder there are still a few left. See it for yourself. Please note: the Other Criteria site is a Flash site and I don't know the product number for these pieces and, therefore, can't direct link you to them. Such a pain! Go to the main site and click the Editions link and scroll until you find it. If you're feeling the pains of the slowing economy and can't afford this, you might want to opt for the one made of 92.5 Sterling Silver. If it were up to me, I'd want one made from the original pills. Kinda like those old raver candy necklaces: you could just bite one off and let the charm work its magic. |
