We were given a sneak peek of the solid gold Kate Moss sculpture a few weeks ago, but the contorted Moss has now been fully unveiled and is on display at the British...

... sale at Lyon and Turnbull in London, where lot after lot of minor works by Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn and Banksy either failed to reach their estimate or remained unsold, 'embarrassing'. Elsewhere, auction house porters have been being drafted in to pose as punters and fill up empty seats.

I often wonder about the sanity of those people in charge of our art institutions. Would you pay £350,000 for this gimmick: Marc Quinn's Self (2006), a self-portrait in the artist's frozen blood?

With all of this odd pricey art going around of Kate Moss (recall the lipstick sketch ) one would think she is the living Mona Lisa--oh, right--she is. Designed by artist Marc Quinn as part of the Statuephilia exhibition at the British Museum it is said to be Kate doing yoga and is called Siren.
