UK supermodel Kate Moss hasn’t seen her star fall in the last years and she draws more and more publicity to both her career in personal life. Though she has endured the criticisms of leading a controversial life, it is clear the English beauty still has a loving fan base.
The proof is in the pudding: Marc Quinn, an artist known for his sculptures in Trafalgar Square, has created his latest creations in honour the model. Using Moss as his muse, he sculpted her in seven different yoga poses out of pure bronze, some of which were later painted white.
The statues are being shipped to Manhattan, NY, where it is estimated they could sell for up to £1 million. Moss did not pose for the artist and Quinn says that while he used her facial features, he took used a yoga expert as the model for the body.
