Broken Sublime

Broken Sublime (The Invention of Tools) by Marc Quinn, Somerset House, London

“Broken Sublime (The Invention of Tools)” by Marc Quinn, 2015
The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court
Somerset House, Strand
London, September 2015

“Four monumental sculptures by Marc Quinn will be presented in The Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court this September and October. Forming two bodies of work entitled Frozen Wave and Broken Sublime (2015), the sculptures originate from the remnants of shells. This installation is the first time the works will be presented outdoors and the sculptures will be amidst the courtyard’s fountains, underlining the works’ connection to water.” (Marc Quinn: Frozen Waves, Broken Sublimes, Somerset House Trust)
