Kate Moss is  solid gold…Literally. Artist, Marc  Quinn has created a gold sculpture of Kate Moss that is valued at £1.5 million ( that is about $2.85 million dollars). The Statue is entitled Siren and it is not the first time that Marc Quinn has immortalized Kate Moss. He has previously made statues of Kate in Bronze and plaster.

In reference to the  gold statue of Moss, Mr Quinn said, "I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who's the ideal beauty of the moment. But even Kate Moss doesn't live up to the image"

This sculpture is said to be the largest gold statue created since the times of the Ancient Egyptians.

The statue will be part of an exhibition called Statuephilia  that will go on display at the British Museum from October 4th to January 25th.
