Note: Gallaccio is part of a generation of artists known as the Young British Artists who studied at Goldsmiths College in London between 1985 and 1988. She exhibited alongside members of this group in Damien Hirst’s landmark exhibition Freeze in London’s Dockyards in 1988, and is now well known for her installation works that feature flowers, sugar, chocolate and other perishable materials. Gallaccio made Black Ice in the same year that she was commissioned to create an installation for Tate Britain’s Duveen Galleries.
