Kate Moss sculptured in a yoga position

Artist Marc Quinn has made a sculpture of Kate Moss in a yoga position. Quinn
says of Moss, "She is a contemporary version of the Sphinx. A mystery." Others
might suggest that we know quite enough about the sordid little minx. Quinn
usually sculpts with marble, but his Kate was cast in bronze and then painted
white, creating a flat, blank surface.
Quinn is also famous for putting
a sculpture of Alison Lapper, a woman lacking arms and fully developed legs – on
to a plinth in Trafalgar Sqare – and for casting his head in his own blood and
freezing it. This Kate is showing at White Cube in London, but New Yorkers get
to see the whole series of five at the Mary Boone Gallery starting in April
2007.
