Marc Quinn: Myth

This book offers an in-depth overview of the work of contemporary British artist, Marc Quinn. Marc Quinn is a contemporary British artist, and member of the Young British Artists movement, whose work has garnered critical and public attention since the 1990s, thanks to the strong expressiveness and sensationalism of works such as "Self" (1991) - a frozen sculpture of Quinn's own head made from 5 litres of his own blood. This much-anticipated volume takes an in-depth look at Quinn's work, including his latest exhibition based around Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" - a site specific work on show during the 53rd International Art Exhibition in Venice (22 May-27 September 2009).
