Oprah Winfrey Burial Mask set for Chicago debut

The much hyped bronze likeness of Oprah Winfrey created by controversial sculptor David Edwards (the same dude who made that less-than-appealing statue of Britney Spears giving birth in the most unusual position) is all set to be opened to public.

The Oprah Winfrey Burial Mask will make its debut at GARDENfresh Gallery, courtesy the Leo Kesting Gallery, on the 24th of April. What’s even more interesting is that the Chicago gallery is just around the corner from Oprah’s Harpo Studios!

Gallery doctor David Kesting tried to put a more artsy spin on the controversial statuette by saying:

The Oprah Burial Mask depicts for the viewer a celebration of an inner beauty for which we could all aspire. If we each imagined an object that represented us at our most ideal for all eternity, we might hold ourselves to the highest standards, both morally and spiritually.

I guess Mr. Kesting really has never caught an episode of Oprah, because if he did, he’d know better than to say that Oprah would like to have THAT disaster of a hairdo or THOSE inflated thighs (as shown in the pharaoh-type statuette below) for an eternity!
