Lot Essay

'Orchids are like perfectly evolved little sculptures in themselves, they're full of colour, interesting shapes and beauty. Even though they are a plant's reproductive organs, they pun on human ones too. They make you realise it is colour, life and sexuality that keeps the world turning. They are a celebration of life.'

(M. Quinn, quoted in 'Marc Quinn on Orchids', AnOther Magazine, 14 November 2011, reproduced at: https://www.anothermag.com/current/view/1544/Marc_Quinn_on_orchids)
