Kate Moss worths $18 Mil. in gold

October 2nd, 2008 by Celebrityaxe.com

Kate Moss is fashion’s golden girl – literally!

A British artist debuted his solid-gold statue of the supermodel holding a complex yoga pose. The statue is worth $18 Mil…something equal to her real weigh n kg.

The sculptor, Marc Quinn, compared the artwork – part of the Statuephilia exhibition, which is open at London’s British Museum – to the famous golden mask of Tutankhamun.

“Like that mask, Siren is an image that glows and gives out love and light,” he said in a statement. “But [it also] remains completely implacable and silent.”

The statue weighs about 110 lbs.and  the largest solid-gold statue since Ancient Egyptian times.

“I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who’s the ideal beauty of the moment,” Quinn said of using Moss for the museum’s Statuephilia exhibition, which will premiere Oct. 4.
