Hugh Grant's arrest site immortalized

LONDON, June 29 (UPI) -- An enormous landscape of the spot in Hollywood where actor Hugh Grant was arrested with a prostitute is being immortalized in a famous London art gallery.

Art collector Charles Saatchi reportedly spent $10,000 on the depiction of Sunset Boulevard where Grant was arrested in 1995, and plans to hang it in his London County Hall Gallery, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

The piece was done by Los Angeles photographer Dwayne Moser, who uses celebrity scandals as his inspiration. He photographs the sites at the same time of day as stars were caught, and then has the scenic arts department at Warner Brothers magnify the images into backdrops which look as though they are designed for a film.

Saatchi also purchased a depiction of Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, where actress Winona Ryder was arrested for shoplifting in 2001.
