Mark Zuckerberg Taps Daniel Arsham to Sculpt 7-Foot Statue of His Wife Priscilla Chan
Time and again, Mark Zuckerberg will make headlines for something entirely unexpected, like the time he was photographed hydrofoiling with his face dripping of sunscreen or the now viral meme of the Meta CEO's relaxed hairstyle — which in reality was retouched to exaggerated levels.

Chan's likeness is cast in a weathered and oxidized copper that is finished in a dark teal coating. Encased around her is a shiny himation wrapped around the body of the sculpture.“The more of me the better?” said Chan in an...
