Marc Quinn, British b.1964 - The Virtue of Desire, 2013; Patinated bronze, from an edition 8 plus 4 AP, signed, dated and numbered 'Marc Quinn 2013 ed 2/8', 46.5(H) x 54.5(W) x 34(D) cm including base (ARR) Note: Marc Quinn is one of the most important and celebrated artists of his generation, shooting to fame in the 1990s following the RA's 'Sensation' exhibition alongside his fellow YBAs, Damien Hirst and Gary Hume. Since 1988, Quinn has made works focusing on the form of the Orchid, seeing the flowers as 'perfectly evolved little sculptures in themselves, they're full of colour, interesting shapes and beauty'. Reminiscent of the iconic paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe, Quinn's sculptures encapsulate, in the hybrid form of the orchid, the link between nature, artificiality and temporality. The artist's most celebrated use of the orchid was in his large scale installation 'Garden' at the Fondazione Prada in Milan in 2000.
