Kate Moss as a Golden Sculpture

The British artist Marc Quinn has unveiled a sculpture of Kate Moss in solid gold called Siren at the British Museum. It weighs 50 kilograms and it is worth a stunning £1.5 million. Most impressive is the fact that Siren is said to be the largest gold statue to be made in the world since Ancient Egypt. Of Kate Moss, Quinn says, “”I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who’s the ideal beauty of the moment.” But this is not the first time the British supermodel was a muse for Marc. In his 2006 work, the artist cast Kate Moss in a provocative yoga pose named Sphinx where Kate had her ankles and arms wrapped behind her ears.
