lire le livre Ron Mueck : Edition bilingue allemand-anglais

When Ron Mueck's extraordinary sculptures were shown to a broader public in exhibitions during the late 1990s, they met with great astonishment and admiration. Their presence and perfection, their realism and mysterious, transfigured quality excited immediate international attention. Since then, the artist's fame around the world has increased steadily with each new work. Mueck's sculptures are the first to show the human figure not only with factual precision, but also with an image of the psychic states of humanity: sorrow, desolation, vulnerability, and hope. This second, expanded edition of the monograph edited by Heiner Bastian and containing essays by Heiner Bastian and Susanna Greeves is the first comprehensive publication on Mueck's work. The catalogue raisonné lists all of the works produced by the artist to date.
