"The title references a TV documentary on the art market by the late Robert Hughes, in which the art critic decried the commercialisation of the art market by the commodification of masterpieces such as da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Hague's sculpture's in marble presents a wrapped skull that references For The Love of God, British artist Damien Hirst's now-notorious diamond-studded human skull, itself a reference to a gemstone encrusted Aztec skull held in the collection of the British Museum. Hague's reference to those works is oblique but apt – the form of the skull is just detectable beneath the cloth - both suggestions of something that is not actually there. The skull is a classical symbol of mortality and it seems where Hirst's statement was to overlay the funerary tradition of symbolic mortality, Hague's work is more final – everything will pass from view, and life."
