The Laurence King Editions publish "The Book of Skulls," a book exclusively dedicated to the religious symbol that is the skull.
Faye Dowling had the will to gather some sort of directory of skulls and she managed to gather skulls from all backgrounds: from the jewels of Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen to the work of Damien Hirst.
Forgotten and then reused, the skull has a full role in our daily lives sometimes failing to lose its original meaning and initial symbolicism. But its visual power and beauty are timeless, and that's what the book intends to sublimate presenting 164 works by artists as diverse as Wes Lang, James Hopkins, Alan Kane or Stephanie Henderson.
