Kanye West's "Famous" sculpture could sell for millions

It has been estimated that Kanye West's "Famous" sculpture, which features nude life-like versions of 12 celebrities, could sell for around $4 million

The piece, which includes figures of West and his wife Kim Kardashian along with the likes of Donald Trump and Taylor Swift, was on display at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles and while it hasn't been confirmed that it will be put up for sale it has been estimated to make a lot of money if that decision is made. 

Los Angeles artist Aaron Axelrod told The New York Times how he arrived at such a lofty estimation: "I did the math in my head, and it took $500,000 to a million just to make it. This caught me off guard. It's one of the coolest pieces I've ever seen, which is kind of annoying because it's Kanye West."

The gallery's co-founder Tim Blum added that Axelrod's estimate was "a good ballpark" figure.
