Planet (Microcosmos)
Solo Exhibition
27 November 2009 – 16 January 2010
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg

PLANET (MICROCOSMOS) is a sculpture made of Sterling Silver, which depicts the artist's seven months old son. The sculpture of the baby, which seems to float in space, is based on PLANET, a sculpture of the same baby in gigantic dimensions: 10 meters long and more than 7 tons was the work, which Quinn exhibited in the sculpture park of Chatsworth House last year. The edition now shows the other extreme. With its small size (6 cm) the work emphasises the preciousness and the fragility of the sculpture, the baby, life and the planet.

Mary Boone 'Iris' Oct 2009
Solo Exhibition
30 October 2009 – 19 December 2009
Mary Boone Gallery

An exhibition of new paintings by Marc Quinn. These round canvases each depict in gigantic scale the iris of a human eye – turbulently streaked and spotted, suffused with bright colors, and highly individual. Although photo-realistic, the disembodied images might equally serve as renditions of whirling interstellar space.
