The Iceman Cometh - Marc Quinn - Brief Article
ArtForum, May, 2000 by Rachel Withers
At the Fondazione Prada, Milan (May 5-June 10), Marc Quinn will unveil three new pieces in his first solo show in Italy. Best known for Self, 1991, a frozen life cast made from 5.2 quarts of his own blood, Quinn has cast human figures in ice and preserved cut flowers in refrigerated blocks of silicone, in Across the Universe and Eternal Spring (Sunflowers I & II), respectively (both works 1998).
Quinn's polished techniques and Prada's lavish resources will surely combine to sensational, and no doubt chilling, effect.
