In the
world of fashion Kate Moss was always worth her weight in
gold, but now she really is
gold…literally.
British artist Marc Quin, famous for works like “
Allison Lapper pregnant“, “
Sphinx” or “
Self“, a bust of his head for which he used eight pints of his own blood, presented his latest masterpiece, “
Siren”
a 50 kg solid gold statue of international supermodel Kate Moss. The 1,5 million pounds statue is on display at the
British Museum, in the
Nereid Hall. A part of his latest collection, entitled
Statuephilia, “
Siren” depicts
Kate Moss in a Yoga position and has already been named “
the Aphrodite of our time“.
Marc Quinn‘s “
Siren” is said to be the
largest gold statue created since the time of Ancient Egypt.
