Lorenzo Quinn To Follow Christo’s Lead

Earlier this year, Lorenzo Quinn became the first artist to install a work of art directly into the waters of the Grand Canal in Venice. Next year he plans to take on another watery site: Lake Iseo in northern Italy, made famous in 2016 by Christo’s Floating Piers, an installation of three kilometres of dahlia yellow fabric that formed a bridge to Monte Isola. “I was blessed with Venice, we had the backing there,” says Quinn, the son of the Oscar-winning actor Anthony Quinn. “They have just asked me to take over the lake site where Christo created his work last year.”
