Overview:

The theme of this exhibition is the metamorphosis of one's own body as a metaphor for the balancing act between life and death; the transformation of solid to liquid and vice versa; and the sculptural equilibrium between surface and core.

Quinn’s sculptures of marble, rubber, glass, silver, plastic, lead and ice rivet the attention through the sensual brilliance of their surfaces and the shock of their close castings. The Kunstverein Hannover is displaying the first European exhibition of Quinn’s with representative works of recent years.

A total of ten sculptures and one photograph may be seen. Among them are numerous new productions for Hannover, for example two life-size masculine figures made of pure white marble and a kissing couple made of ice.
