A Genomic Portrait. John Sulston by Marc Quinn
Solo Exhibition
19 September 2001 – 10 February 2002
National Portrait Gallery

A Genomic Portrait: Sir John Sulston by Marc Quinn is the result of a remarkable collaboration between the artist and the sitter, scientist Sir John Sulston in which Sulston contributed a sample of his DNA to be used by Quinn in the work. The portrait is the first entirely conceptual portrait to be acquired by the Gallery and was commissioned with the support of The Wellcome Trust.
