How Marianne Faithfull's nipples became a work of art

Flavor: Art

The shiny silver torso is an homage to the famous muse who inspired it. Abstract and geometric, it looks barely human. For years, the artist kept his model's identity secret. Only the nipples, cast directly from source, give any clues. But decades would pass before they were revealed as belonging to the rock diva Marianne Faithfull.

Clive Barker first took a shine to Faithfull, literally and metaphorically, in 1974. They became lovers, long after she left Jagger and sank into drug addiction. When he suggested making a cast of her breasts, it was all in the best possible taste. Naturally.

Barker's torso of Faithfull is currently on show as part of Post-War to Pop at Whitford Fine Art gallery, in London, May 22-June 20
