The smooth, half-heartedly realistic sculpture with the tacky bear rug and the generic naked female form is a prop. It is not the work of art. The act of naming it after a popular and controversial celebrity and an absolutely polarizing social issue is the art. It would not be a stretch to say that the predictable media onslaught and public outcry is the artists work as well, think of a painter who throws paint at the canvas; the action of the paint is out of his hands, but it is still his work, he has determined where and how it should land.
I think it will be interesting in the sexually prudish USA to see what euphemisms are used in describing the particulars of the sculpture. The news page I link to calls her genitals 'the opposite end'.
