Paris Hilton sculpture by Edwards is to go display · 2007-05-11 11:22
Sculptor Daniel Edwards thinks Paris Hilton makes a fine subject ??“ as prom queen of the dead in what he says is a warning against drunken driving.
The artist has created a sculpture of the 26-year-old hotel heiress and socialite naked and dead, with cell phone in hand, legs spread and crowned with a tiara.
"The Paris Hilton Autopsy" is a statement about the dangers of drunk driving just as high school prom season rolls around, said Edwards, who also sculpted a giant head of Cuban President Fidel Castro and created a life-size nude of Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug.
Hilton pleaded no contest in January to alcohol-related reckless driving. On Friday, she was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation on that offense by driving on a suspended license.
According to Reuters, the sculpture was to go on display Friday in Brooklyn.
On Wednesday, Hilton issued a statement through an attorney saying she was "ready to face the consequences of violating probation."
