Artist Daniel Edwards said he created the work in response to media criticism of Kim.
Her name is "L.A. Fertility."
She's artist Daniel Edwards' sculpture tribute to Kim Kardashian's expectant motherhood shape.
The life-size nude statue was unveiled at the LAB ART Gallery in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
According to a release from Edwards' rep, the artist decided to design it without arms so that people would focus on her "voluminous" belly and "lactiferous breasts" with the specific purpose of being able to allow visitors to give the belly "a respectful rub for good luck and success."
Edwards tells Los Angeles Magazine that he wanted his work to be a response to media criticism over Kim's weight gain.
"People tend to look at the parts, like the creases in her armpits, or how she wore a dress that makes her look like a killer whale. I'm stripping it of the details people get stuck on, so they can see the beauty."
Edwards has created unusual celeb artwork over the years, including depictions of Britney Spears giving birth and Angelina Jolie nursing.
