ARTIST 2: MARC QUINN

Buck in Ecstasy
Moment of Clarity
Self 2001 (Artist Blood, Plexiglas, Stainless Steel, and Commercial Refrigeration)




Most Artists will claim they put themselves into their work British artist Marc Quinn literally does this. In 1991 and again in 2001 Quinn used 8 pints ( the amount the human body holds) of his blood to create a frozen sculpture of his head. Only in his forties Quinn continues to create and exhibit "Discussion-Generating" artwork at prolific rate. With no signs of slowing down who knows how Quinn will "shock" us next.
