NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sculptor Daniel Edwards thinks Paris Hilton makes a fine subject -- as prom queen of the dead in what he says is a warning against drunken driving.

The artist has created a sculpture of the 26-year-old hotel heiress and socialite naked and dead, with cell phone in hand, legs spread and crowned with a tiara.

"The Paris Hilton Autopsy" is a statement about the dangers of drunk driving just as high school prom season rolls around, said Edwards, who also sculpted a giant head of Cuban President Fidel Castro and created a life-size nude of Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug.

Hilton pleaded no contest in January to alcohol-related reckless driving. On Friday, she was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation on that offense by driving on a suspended license.

The sculpture was to go on display Friday in Brooklyn.

On Wednesday, Hilton issued a statement through an attorney saying she was "ready to face the consequences of violating probation."

"No one is above the law. I surely am not," she said. "I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However, my hope is that I will not be treated worse."

Hilton's lawyers have said she was singled out for especially harsh treatment by prosecutors because of her celebrity, and they have filed a notice of their intention to appeal the sentence.

It would have been better if he’d put some clothes on her, but I think it’s kind of poignant and pretty. Much better than Paris Hilton alive, anyway...
