	Marc Quinn on artnet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Quinn’s 1995 series of lead sculptures entitled ‘Emotional Detox: The Seven Deadly Sins’ were once again based on his own body and revealed a preoccupation with heightened states of bodily expression that indirectly referred to the extreme work of Austrian Baroque sculptor Franz Xavier Messerschmidt.
		Quinn is interested in the way that fragmentary Greek classical sculpture has come to signify wholeness and beauty; in the way that antique busts or figures are never read as partial or lacking even when the arms or legs are not presented.
		Quinn has recently made a 12 ft version of one of his marble sculptures ‘Alison Lapper Pregnant’, a limbless woman who is eight months pregnant with her son.

	Tate \| Press Releases \| Marc Quinn (Tate Liverpool)
		Quinn came to prominence in the early 1990s with his sculpture Self (1991), a refrigerated cast of his own head made using nine pints of his own blood.
		Since then, Quinn has produced a diverse range of work, most of which is preoccupied with the ever changing physical states of the body and addresses ideas about science, mortality and survival in our age of genetic manipulation.
		Quinn took a sample of Sulston's DNA to make the portrait which is an exact representation of its subject.

	CIRCA Art Magazine - Online review - Marc Quinn, Flesh, Irish Museum of Modern Art, 1 July - 12 September 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Whilst the materials and subject matter Quinn has subsequently used have sometimes provoked controversy, the ideas he explores are the great themes of art and literature: immortality, death and what it is to be human.
		Quinn is by no means the first artist to use the carcasses of animals within his work.
		Quinn takes a slightly different approach, using the carcass directly, creating poses that reference traditional figurative sculpture such as torsos or reclining nudes.

	Marc Quinn at the Tate Liverpool Art in America - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Occupying the entire top floor of the Tate Liverpool, this recent survey of works by Marc Quinn, organized by Christop Grunenberg and Victoria Pomeroy, museum director and curator, respectively, contained 30 sculptures, paintings, photos and drawings, produced over the past six years.
		As the frame reflects your image, it reminds you that 99.9 percent of DNA is shared by all humans, and, as the samples look identical, that all life forms developed from the same single-cell amoebas.
		Quinn proves to be an inept draftsman and many of the pieces are little more than doodles.

	Marc Quinn - The Complete Marbles- A Review by Donald Goddard
		Marc Quinn's went as body casts to be carved in marble by Italian craftsmen, also to be immersed, to be engulfed within a particular form and shape of human history.
		In Quinn's figures, however, there is no theatricality, no gaping mouths or wild eyes, though Stuart Penn kicks his shortened right leg out and clenches his right fist like an Olympic kick-boxer.
		Quinn would seem to typify a kind of post-modern coldness, in the locution of current art discourse.

	ARTseenSOHO - Marc Quinn at Gagosian Gallery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Marc Quinn came to the attention of the international public with "Self", a work in which the artist's head was cast in his own frozen, congealed blood.
		This and other work using human bodily fluids are key to the artist's central preoccupation: the exploration of self and issues of mortality.
		Pictured at the center here is one of two sculptures made of real flowers entitled "Eternal Spring", which are frozen in full bloom and presented in refrigeration.

		The sculpture by Marc Quinn, a 12-metre-high orchid, was displayed on the Canale Grande, Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

		Eden looks precarious in this highly sexualized and kitsch inversion of hothouse flowers, where fuchsia pinks, cornflower blues and turquoises, amaryllises, irises and cactuses are dependent on their manufactured environment.
		Quinn exposes the artificiality, the sheer labor intensity of man attempting to fabricate nature.
