Description

Lavishly illustrated catalogue of Quinn's solid gold statue of Kate Moss. "Quinn’s fascination with our attitudes towards female beauty has repeatedly led him to ancient Greek art. His new sculpture, Siren, is of the model Kate Moss and is made entirely out of gold. Quinn presents Moss as a modern-day Aphrodite reminding us that Moss's likeness has become as iconic as the goddesses of the ancient world. Named after the deadly marine seductresses of Greek mythology, Siren transfixes the viewer with her intense gaze. She is positioned next to the Nereid Monument – a temple-like tomb adorned with sea-nymphs. Her contorted body parallels the crouching pose of the nearby statue of Aphrodite." —British Museum 2008/9
