Gold Model Katie

Glamour model Katie Moss's 50kg gold statue went on display yesterday at London's British Museum.

The statue cost £1.5 million to make, but is expected to fetch as much as £10 million. It is said to be the biggest gold statue made since the time of ancient Egypt.

Marc Quinn it's sculptor, is best known for Alison Lapper Pregnant, portraying an armless woman seen in Trafalgar Square until last year.

Quinn said, "I thought the next thing to do would be a sculpture of the person who's the ideal beauty of the moment.

The exhibition runs until January 25.
