Ron Mueck’s works in the last two decades have been relatively few and far between, with only a little more than three dozen completed hyperrealist sculptures making up his oeuvre thus far. This sparseness, however, hasn’t kept the Australian artist, who now works in the UK from becoming someone of great renown. That’s bound to happen if one has a body of work that’s evocative and perturbing as his are. Consisting of tiny and huge sculptures of mostly people (ranging from infants to the elderly ) that warrant a second look for confirmation of their inanimateness, Mueck’s works have been in and out of museums around the world.
Now, 13 of his sculptures will be on view at Houston’s Museum of Fine Arts, after having spent time in museums in Paris, Sao Paolo and other cities. The exhibit will open on Feb. 25 and will run until May.
