Ron Mueck, Fondation Cartier, April 16 – October 27
Australian-born London hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck (1958) is widely viewed as one of the most influential Realist artists of our time. The son of toymakers, Mueck first made a name for himself in 1997, as one of the Young British artists at the controversial Sensation exhibition, which was organized by the Saatchi Gallery. His featured work was named Dead Dad - an impressive, anatomically and dermatologically precise silicone and fibreglass sculpture of a dead man.
This is the second time that the Fondation Cartier is presenting works by Mueck. Along with objects made especially for the exhibition, five of the artist's better-known oeuvres will also be on display.
