Great Art: Hopi Indians are hung, and Kate Moss's crotch in gold should be worth $20m (but beyond that, I don't know much about art)
At the Edge of the Cedars State Park in southern Utah, one of the classic Hopi Indian sculptures out front (visible from the road) has been moved to the back because, unlike similar ones, this male was "anatomically correct," which is scary, because the damn thing's hanging almost to his ankles. And British sculptor Marc Quinn has made a lifesize statue of model Kate Moss, entirely in 18k gold, that he figures will fetch the equivalent of $20 million after its January museum run. London's Daily Telegraph is respectful, photographing it from the side, but the pose is actually of Moss, seated, holding her legs behind her head, and from the front, well . . ..

$20m for Kate's crotch? After all it's been used?

Ain't no "crotch" worth that kind of money!

I'd never watch TV again with that thing in my living room.

Kate Moss bleh. Not my choice of supermodel. Christina Turlington if you're reading this "YOU ARE THE ONE". (hope that works)
The statue of Kate isn't nude. Which is a disappointment. Nor does it have a lazy eye which Kate also has. Nor is it snorting coke off a toilet (also a signature pose of Kate). In my opinion, that statue is simply freaky and not much of a work of art. I really think a Kate snorting coke off of something captured in gold would have been better.
