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.

Created by Kate Moss herself, in collaboration with creative
director Fabien Baron, Jess Hallett, and Jefferson Hack, this book
is a highly personal retrospective of Kate Moss's career, tracing
her evolution from "new girl with potential" to one of the most
iconic models of all time. KATE: The Kate Moss Book will be
released with eight unique covers, shot by Mario Testino, Corinne
Day, Inez & Vinoodh, Craig McDean, Mert & Marcus, David
Sims, Mario Sorrenti, and Juergen Teller and will be shipped to
customers at random. Kate Moss began modeling as a teenager and
achieved recognition when photographs of her shot by Corinne Day
appeared in British magazine The Face. She made her so-called
"waif" mark as a counterpoint in the 90s to then-dominant,
Amazonian supermodels like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and
Linda Evangelista, and, with countless international magazine
covers and fashion features, and campaigns for brands including
Calvin Klein, Chanel, Bulgari, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and
Longchamp, has remained one of fashion's most enduring and
influential forces. Moss's magic has been captured by the world's
leading photographers, and this volume spans the entirety of her
unparalleled career, from model to fashion designer, and muse to
icon. Told through images that Moss has personally selected, KATE
shows the influence of her collaborations with top photographers
and artists over the last two decades, and clearly demonstrates why
her career has had, and continues to have, such incredible
longevity. Photography by Arthur Elgort, Corinne Day, Craig McDean,
David Sims, Hedi Slimane, Inez & Vinoodh, Juergen Teller, Mario
Sorrenti, Mario Testino, Mert & Marcus, Nick Knight, Patrick
Demarchelier, Peter Lindbergh, Roxanne Lowit, Steven Klein, Terry
Richardson and others Including many 'never-before-seen' images
from her own archives and those of the illustrious photographers
with whom she has worked, KATE is a must-have for anyone interested
in one of the most iconic models in the history of fashion media
and modern culture.
