For now, I really have to give the Rubbish Award to this:

For Love of God

It's worth a great deal of money by itself- those are real diamonds covering that skull. However, Damien Hirst ended up having to buy it himself (as part of a consortium, but still) because it didn't sell for his asking price of $100MILLION. Plus, he plagarized the idea from a friend of his, John LeKay, who was working with crystal-covered skulls in the 1990s.   This Hirst work has been displayed only twice; it is kept in a vault; and the only way anyone sees it is by photograph.

Also, a 16 year-old outsider collage artist who used legitimate photos of that work (photos Hirst had placed in various publications to advertise the work's unveiling- and hoped for sale) was threatened with a lawsuit by Hirst for using those images as part of a collage work, and not only had to turn over his original collages to Hirst, he also paid a $400 fine. Damien Hirst 'threatened to sue teenager over alleged copyright theft'

Rubbish. I could excuse the pickled cows and sheep as an artist who was searching for shock value over artistic vision. But this work is just facile and petty.
