Kate Moss is to be the subject of a major new exhibition.
France’s Musee des Arts Decoratifs is set to commemorate the British
supermodel’s 19-year career, in an attempt to “decode the phenomenon” Kate,
34, has become.
Museum director Beatrice Salmon said: “This is an occasion to ask a certain
number of experts in image and communications to explain why and how Kate
has become someone the whole world knows.”
The model – who has reportedly split from boyfriend Jamie Hince – has given
her blessing to the project, which will run from November 2009 to April
2010.
A museum spokesperson said: “Kate Moss has agreed to cooperate, to
collaborate on the exhibit. The show will concentrate on her life, her
career — and be a celebration of her 19 years. We hope she will be there for
the launch.”
Because of Kate’s involvement, the museum has been able to source
photographs to display from the early days of her career, when she was
discovered by talent scouts aged just 14.
Curator-in-chief Pamela Golbin explained: “We’re working out what is
available, but her modelling agency has kept hold of absolutely everything
she’s done from the very beginning, including archive material from two
decades ago.”
