Stunning piece of news this morning: The largest 100% gold sculpture since the pharaohs times!!!
Representing the british supermodel Kate Moss in the Sphinx Yoga pose, and made by the Londonian artist Marc Quinn, the statue weights 50 kg and is made of pure gold. It is worth nearly 3 million $.


"I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who's the ideal beauty of the moment" he said. The artwork then is a symbol of perfect human beauty, a sort of female David.

Only one partial facial shot is available, so we'll have to wait till October to see the rest of it in the British Museum in London.
At a price of 805$ /oz the statue's weight in gold worths nearly 1.5million $, which leads me to wonder who finances such an initiative and what are his motives... It' s unlikely to be Kate, she's saving to buy a private Jet (Vogue).
