Artist Marc Quinn has unveiled a golden statue of Kate Moss entitled "Siren". The $18 million gold statue is part of the Statuephilia exibition at the British Museum. Kate is depicted in a yoga pose. It is a continuation of an earlier work entitled "Sphinx" with Moss as it's subjet as well.

The artist describes the piece as follows: "Siren is an image that glows and gives out love and light," Quinn said in a statement. "But [it also] remains completely implacable and silent."
