Here's Suri's First Poop!

Daniel Edwards, the man who also created the controversial 'Moment to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston', the statuette of the Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin, has come up with another idea for a grand piece of art.

'Suri Cruise's Baby Poop Bronzed for Charity', is a bronze statuette of the famous baby's allegedly first poop and, as anyone can easily see, the plaque even bears the date of its creation, August 18. For all those interested, the exhibit can be seen on display at Brooklyn Capla Kesting Fine Art Gallery.

The bronze sculpture is meant to be a social critique and comment on the culture of celebrity and of the attention that people paid to the baby of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. 'It's partially a statement on modern media that "celebrity poop" has more entertainment value than health, famine or other critical issues facing society and governments today', a spokesperson for the gallery said yesterday at the big 'unveiling'.

'Also, it is a statement on the absurdity of the media coverage surrounding Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' new baby, Suri Cruise, which has reached stellar proportions and is eclipsing far more notable events with more substance', he added about the art work that already attracted thousands of curious fans.

The gallery, the same one that displayed the Britney-giving-birth statuette, will keep the bronzed poop until September, when the art work is to go on sale on eBay.

Thank you for your recent article concerning our exhibition of "Suri Cruise's First Poop" and its corresponding eBay auction. Unfortunately the gallery was in a move to ensure the sanctity of the auction, had to re-list the item, despite achieving an auction price of over US $7000 dollars. The new ebay auction is being held at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200023169600

This was done in an effort to ensure the galleries dedication to making this auction run a smoothly as possible and that we will not participate in, nor support malicious bidders, or tactics to inflate the price of Daniel Edwards' artwork.

We expect the item to sell for well over the previous listed mark, and hope that our efforts to secure this auction will reflect our good intentions to Daniel's collectors. Please note this is the bronzed original that is being auctioned and is not a duplicate or copy.

If at all possible please take this moment to update any existing links on your website to point to our new eBay auction address: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200023169600

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter
