Medicine is a fascinating topic, and, at some point in our lives, it impacts everyone. As a result of rapid technological developments, and our ambivalent attitudes towards aging, health and sickness, medicine has become omnipresent in our lives and society. The ethical and moral questions to be found in the practice of medicine influence our own personal sensibilities and experiences. This book is devoted to the topic of medicine in art history, and features close to 150 works by 57 contemporary artists, including Joseph Beuys, Damien Hirst, Heather Sheehan or Marc Quinn. These works evolved from the artists’ own experiences, their illnesses, their experiments with medical treatments, and their critical dialogues with medicine, and were influenced by their related fears and expectations.
