Oops he did it again! Sculptor Marc Quinn, the dude who designed that Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug masterpiece, is at it again. This time the British designer’s inspiration is the washed up lovely Kate Moss.
His past Sphinx sculpture, made in 2006, was of the model twisting herself up like human pretzel aka a yoga pose. The first go round Kate was very active in the participation process. She was even able to part from druggie boyfriend, Pete Doherty, for five minutes to come to Quinn’s studio to be measured. That was all the time she could spare so another model twisted herself up in that freaky pose. Hot.
However, in his newest Sphinx sculpture of Kate Moss will stand 10-feet tall and be crafted out of white-painted bronze. The work of art will premiere at the Beyond Limits sale of modern and contemporary sculpture at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
So why Kate Moss? “She is a contemporary version of the Sphinx,” Quinn said last year. “She’s a creature who is admired and observed obsessively, but about whom we have little real knowledge.”
