Mark Zuckerberg Unveils Sculpture of Priscilla Chan

Mark Zuckerberg recently unveiled a seven-foot sculpture of his wife, Priscilla Chan, created by artist Daniel Arsham, which he described as a revival of the 'Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife.' The statue, featuring Chan mid-stride in a green oxidized copper finish and draped in a reflective cloak, has sparked a mix of admiration and criticism on social media, with some labeling it as an epitome of billionaire excess. Zuckerberg's Instagram post included a playful nod to their relationship, as Chan humorously responded, 'The more of me the better?' The couple, who met at Harvard and married in 2012, shared that the sculpture was a long-time idea made real through this collaboration. Arsham, known for blending antiquity with contemporary art, aims to provoke thought on the significance of objects across time. While many praised the artistic endeavor, others remarked on the extravagant nature of the gesture, highlighting the disparity in public reactions.
