The most comprehensive book on Quinn to date, \u003ci\u003eSelf, You, and the World \u003c\/i\u003etraces the artist's three-decades-long fascination with the multifaceted experience of being human.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarc Quinn came to international attention in 1991 with \u003ci\u003eSelf\u003c\/i\u003e, a cast of his head made from his own frozen blood. His early explorations of the self would soon broaden to wider reflections on the experiences of others. Prominent in this shift was his acclaimed 2005 sculpture \u003ci\u003eAlison Lapper Pregnant\u003c\/i\u003e, exhibited on the Fourth Plinth of London's Trafalgar Square. Quinn has since engaged with a number of urgent social and environmental issues through diverse materials and techniques that frequently animate connections between art and science, wrestling with the dichotomies of beauty and ugliness, the physical and the spiritual, the eternal and the mortal. This seminal overview features many of his most celebrated works alongside conversations with past sitters and fellow thinkers Ai Weiwei, Titus Kaphar, Alison Lapper, Kate Moss, Nella Ngingo, and Jen Reid, painting a picture of an artist insatiably curious about the world that surrounds him.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJefferson Hack\u003c\/b\u003e is a curator, creative director, and co-founder of Dazed Media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eShirley Ngozi Nwangwa\u003c\/b\u003e writes about art, race, gender, and politics for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, \u003c\/i\u003ethe\u003ci\u003e New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e New York Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Art Forum\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eARTnews\u003c\/i\u003e, amongst others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHettie Judah\u003c\/b\u003e is chief art critic for the \u003ci\u003ei\u003c\/i\u003e, a regular contributor to the \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e's arts pages, and a columnist for \u003ci\u003eApollo\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
