ACCLAIMED artist Spencer Tunick (left) asks his subjects to bare all, but his Irish sponsors are not revealing the cost of his works.
"The details of the fee is confidential between the artist and the commissioning authority," said a spokeswoman for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA), which paid for the "installation" and a fee to Tunick to cover his expenses.
Tunick, from the US, is a world-renowned contemporary artist who specialises in what he terms "site-specific nudes" featuring thousands.
