Marriage-Saving Sculptures

Stephanie Seymour and Husband Save Their Union With a Nude Statue

— November 29, 2010 — Naughty
When Stephanie Seymour filed for divorce from her millionaire-industrialist husband, he did what any vindictive (or incredibly romantic) millionaire-industrialist would do -- Commission a life-like, nude bust of his soon to be ex-wife created by a world-renowned artist “so the world could share his wife.”

It must've worked, because the divorce was soon called off, but the Stephanie Seymour sculpture entitled "Trophy Wife" is still for sale!

Implications - The nude statue is built like some sort of taxidermy statue and is meant to be hung on the wall. The statue looks quite life-like, as if Mrs. Seymour is trying to come out of the wall. Although she is nude, her lady parts are tastefully covered by her hands.
Trend Themes
1. Sculpture as Emotional Investment - This trend highlights the potential for wealthy individuals to commission and collect personalized sculptures as a way to express emotions and preserve relationships.
2. Art as Relationship Therapy - The use of art, specifically sculptures, as a form of relationship therapy or reconciliation presents an innovative approach to addressing marital issues and fostering emotional connection.
3. Controversy and Publicity in Art - The controversial nature of Stephanie Seymour's sculpture and the subsequent publicity it generated underscores the power of provocative art to capture public attention and spark conversations.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Arts - The fine arts industry can capitalize on the demand for personalized sculptures and art pieces that hold emotional value and sentiment.
2. Relationship Counseling - The relationship counseling industry can explore the integration of art therapy techniques, such as personalized sculptures, to address marital issues and facilitate relationship healing.
3. Art Marketing and PR - Art marketing and public relations companies can leverage controversial or provocative artworks to generate buzz and media coverage, increasing visibility and public engagement.
