Description:Marc Quinn Sculpture, 2002.
A full life sized sculpture of Catherine Long in Macedonian white marble.
Purchased with support from the National Art Collections Fund, MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and The Wellcome Trust 2002.
Catherine Long is one of a series of sculptural portraits Quinn created of people with missing or malformed limbs. The works were conceived while Quinn was looking at sculptures in the British Museum and considering 'how people impute an inside to someone from a reading of their outside.' The pose was selected by both artist and model. Long was keen to be involved in the project, feeling that 'It would evoke and challenge people's perceptions of what they see as being beautiful or not beautiful.'
