  • £1.5 MILLION GOLD STATUE OF KATE MOSS UNVEILED

    03 Oct 2008 by Seth Rotherham in Art, Business, Kate Moss

    Ok, I’ll just jump right into this one..

    The Telegraph has revelead:

     

    A lifesize gold statue of Kate Moss as a “modern-day Aphrodite” with her legs tucked behind her head has been unveiled at the British Museum.

     

    Quinn-Moss-gold-46 1002522c

     

    Siren is made entirely of 18 carat gold and will be displayed in the museum’s Nereid Gallery among statues of Greek goddesses including Aphrodite.

    It is the largest gold statue made by man since ancient Egyptian times, weighing 50kg, around the same as its subject.

    Artist Marc Quinn, whose previous works include the sculpture of a pregnant woman with no arms or legs that now sits on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, said Siren cost £1.5m to make, £1m of which was the price of the gold.

    He expects it to fetch up to £10m when it is sold following its time with the British Museum in January.

    Speaking at the unveiling, Mr Quinn said he saw Miss Moss, who posed for him for a day though not in the position of the statue, as a “modern day Aphrodite”.

    “For Kate, she thinks it lifts into her into a mythical level,” he said.

    Amazing vibe that guy is going for. I sincerely hope he got at least a bit of action from Moss for all of that effort.

    That reminds me, I must finish off the platinum statue I started. The one of me, mid flick-flack, naked, smiling. They’re all the rage at the moment, statues. Lest we forget the gold statue of Oprah Winfrey by Daniel Edwards, entitled “The Oprah Sarcophagus.”
