Pivotal British multidisciplinary artist Marc Quinn’s practice
explores what it is to be human in the world today. This is the
most comprehensive book to date on the artist’s bold and singular
practice. Marc Quinn came to the attention of the international art
scene in 1991 with Self, a cast of his head realized in eight pints
of his own frozen blood, exhibited in a specially designed
refrigeration unit. With his materials and techniques, Quinn
challenges the boundaries between art and science. Besides using
ice, glass, metal, marble, and lead, he has experimented with
flowers and plants frozen in silicon. Since 1999, he has been
creating sculptures in classic white marble of subjects who lack
one or more limbs. In addressing the purely physical aspects of
life, Quinn confronts the viewer with the chasm between the
physical and the mental, beauty and ugliness, the eternal and the
mortal. This overview of his practice includes a timeline of all
his major works.
