Ron Mueck exhibition

What makes the work of Australian sculptor Ron Mueck so fascinating? I have seen this image of the woman in bed in a catalogue, but until you see it in person, you have no idea of the scale.
Photos were allowed but without the flash. Mueck works in super size or half size. We are left to ponder what his figures are comtemplatng. This current exhibition is at the NGV International, St Kilda Road Melbourne until April 18.

  1. Snap - I saw this exhibition last week and loved it too. My favourite were the little old ladies

  2. Fascinating art -- thanks for showing it. This and your previous post with the gorgeous breakfast food further inspires me to visit Melbourne some day. The art exhibit will be gone but maybe they'll keep on making great breakfasts.
