Marc Quinn gained notoriety with his work 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. Increasingly his work addresses ideas concerning mortality and survival in our age of cloning and genetic manipulation. His frozen flower pieces of the late 1990s are highly charged and capture a moment of freshness and beauty.

For his exhibition at Tate Liverpool, Quinn will present a body of new work including drawings, paintings and sculpture. The exhibition will consider Quinn's practice and demonstrate how he has developed his themes and ideas.
