The most incredible sculptures.
Edited on Thu Sep-27-07 10:13 AM by Nevilledog
It was bound to happen... my mother finally sent me an email that I was glad I read (she's the type to forward those crap emails about patriotic things...blech). Just look at the pictures at the link...they're amazing. The artist is Ron Mueck.

1. His name is Ron ---
Not Don -- The link you cite, posted a name that is incorrect --- other than that, I am amazed at Mr. Mueck's work --

2. You're absolutely right...
although when I searched his name just about every other item has his name as Don. Guess to most people Don and Ron are interchangeable names...lol

3. Here's a Youtube video about his work.

I find his work fascinating...and a bit creepy.

I would post pictures, but I'm not sure how to.

6. His work was exhibited in NYC last year,
and a friend of mine went...said the sculptures were extraordinary. The large hairless man sitting in the corner was the cover photo on an issue of Discover magazine also. Thanks for this post!
:hi:
