Controversial sculptor's latest: 'The Oprah Sarcophagus'Some of you out there really worship Oprah. Well, now you finally have a golden idol.
Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards’ latest creation is “The Oprah Sarcophagus,” a gold-colored bronze and a very full-figured likeness of Chicago talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey.
The sculpture features Oprah — famous for battling her weight — with, as one report describes it, “a full-breasted woman with generous child-bearing hips.”
The image is attached to a block in the shape of a burial chamber, much like an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus.
Why Oprah? Edwards has caused stirs before with his sculptures of celebrities — “The Birth of Sean Preston” (Britney Spears giving birth), “Paris Hilton Autopsy,” “Suri Cruise’s First Poop” — and has said this piece “pays homage to the closest thing America has to a living deity.”
Do you think her figure's exxagerated? Or is this her true form minus Spanx?
