This past weekend, Kanye West randomly decided he wanted a gallery opening for the “Famous” figures from his video, inspired by Vincent Desiderio’s “Sleep“.

You know those uncanny silicone sculptures of naked celebrities from Kanye West’s “Famous” video?
Kim was present on-site to open the exhibition, according to People, where she revealed that she had provided the finishing touches to her assets herself. “I have friends who are directors of museums”, he stated.
Mr. Blum told the New York Times: “I think Monday of last week, I got a call from Scooter Braun (who is part of Kanye’s management team)”. “It was a little too small, and then it was a little too big”. (Apparently the rising and collapsing of their chests as they “breathe” is powered by batteries.) Gallery co-owner Tim Blum cites a series of factors contributing to making that price, erm, reasonable for the particular work of thought-provoking art (…media trolling?/thought-provoking art?/ media trolling?/thought-provoking art?).
Kanye West shocked the world with a who’s who of nude celebrities in his video for “Famous,” but if you’re looking to shock your friends and family, you can bring the whole lifelike cast home for a cool $4 million United States dollars. “I was there with the tools to get it right”.
Dropping that kind of cash would ensure that you’re the sole owner of really high-end blowup dolls resembling Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, George W. Bush, Bill Cosby, Ray J, Amber Rose, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Anna Wintour, Caitlyn Jenner, Donald Trump and Kanye himself.
“I would project a figure about that”, he told the Times.
The creation had taken the Bound 2 star’s creative collective, DONDA, four months to put together after incorporating animation modelling, 3-D scanning, stylist consulting, Instagram searches.
