Sphinx (Marc Quinn sculpture)

[1] The life-size sculpture is made of cast bronze, with a white-painted finish, and shows Moss wearing a leotard with her feet and hands behind her head.

The pose itself was modelled by a more experienced female yoga practitioner,[1] though the body, hands, and feet are based on Moss' measurements, proportions, and earlier lifecastings.

Quinn's representation of Moss is meant to show "a mirror of ourselves, a knotted Venus of our age".

[2] The British Museum commissioned Marc Quinn in 2008 to make a life-size sculpture of the model Kate Moss, made entirely of cast gold.

While some say the statue is the largest gold sculpture created since the ancient Egyptian era, the claim cannot be verified.
