This is in fact an homage to a statue deity known as the Fasting Budda (google image it!). Did anyone notice that she was in full lotus (where your legs are crossed like that) or that she was cast in bronze? This is a statue enshrining her glory in a religious way, just like the Golden Marilyn, by Warhol whereby her face was printed onto a gold surround similar to that of Byzantine religious art. She is depicted as a divine spirit who has fasted endlessly to achieve nirvana.

is supposed to honour someone’s right to do whatever the hell they want with their lives, staue no staue,drugs no drugs, it is their actual prerogative, do not feel superior for a second there, and no I have never done drugs or been obsessed with models, am irrelevant.

Sure Quinn is a genius! He fooled greedy people with his art. That art soap bell has bursted though…..never heard about that? Credit crunch? Does that make bell rings?

Who are all of you to say what art is or what Kate Moss’ career is about, both people in question here are talented and have worked towards their current status. They are respected and paid for what they do and they have there own loves, desires and personal messgaes inspiring them to do so. These statues are provocative and inspiring everyone here to have their own opinions, so there thats one easy answer as to why he did it, its art like it or loathe it.

I don’t care if Kate Moss is an icon. Not to me. And she’s certainly not someone whose a honour to rock n’ roll! I’ve other examples in mind who deserves a golden statue for their impact on rock ‘n roll. Some are death and the ones I ‘ve in mind don’t want their statue in gold I think or hope……
And who knows what you miss with your prejudice against “boring midwestern housewives”……..

@MichaelP, I share this sentiment but since I’ve had many requests in real to stop my “dark thoughts” and stick to my fascination with the [rise and fall of the] Roman Empire I tried to react as neutral as I could……but this was my first thought….

This is indeed the amoral “let’s worship the Golden Calf/Moss” Age returning to humanity courtesy of our amoral ridiculously and illogically wealthy “elites.” Get ready for a lot more decadence and trouble ahead as our Western “holier than thou” empire begins its’ decline.
