Marc Quinn: Myth
Text by Danilo Eccher, Marc Quinn, Jason Shulman.
This book gathers a vast body of recent works by Marc Quinn, including those made for the exhibition Myth, in the evocative spaces of the Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House) in Verona. Inspired by graffiti from the walls of the courtyard of Juliet's House, Quinn also created the Love Paintings, an interpretation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which initiates a dialogue with Verona that extends in further works installed in piazzas across the city. Alongside the artist's more celebrated works, such as the Flower Paintings, numerous new works are reproduced here, including the landmark "Siren," which was made from solid gold.
