The solid gold statue entitled 'Siren 2008' of supermodel Kate Moss. Quinns work, entitled Siren 2008, is the largest gold statue since Ancient Egypt and will premiere at the British Museum as part of the exhibition ' Statuephilia: Contemporary Sculptors at the British Museum' on October 4, 2008.

The 110 pound work is by artist Marc Quinn, previously famous for a controversial sculpture installed in London's Trafalgar Square of a pregnant woman with no arms due to a medical condition.

"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," he said.
