Buck Angel Immortalized in Bronze
March 12, 2010 | 2 Comments
I meant to write this up last week and overlooked it. My bad. Trans superstar Buck Angel has been immortalized in bronze by art world provocateur Marc Quinn. Buck Angel with Cigar, 2009 [pictured] will next be displayed in Mr. Quinn’s show in London’s Hoxton Square gallery in May. The statue has been making the art-world rounds, and was recently a part of the The Armory Show traveling exhibit in New York. “Seeing the self-proclaimed ‘Man with a Pussy,’ complete with tattoos, cigar and lady bits, made our evening,” wrote Next magazine. Mr. Angel was recently the guest of honor for the Master’s Tea series at Yale, and his photographic portrait hangs in the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. He was also name-checked in the recent Armistead Maupin novel Michael Tolliver Lives. We first wrote about the Quinn sculpture, which began with marble, way back in September ’08.
