Ron Mueck Photo Realistic Sculptures
|
Ron Mueck(1958- ), is an Australian photo realistic artist whose company is based in London. Born to parents who were toy makers, his early career was a model maker and puppteer for children’s television and films. After establishing his company in London, he made models to be photographed for advertisements. In the early 90s, Mueck commissioned to make something highly realistic. His new models were made from Fiberglass resin, after he found out that this was the ideal material to be used for his realistic models. |
The picture aboves shows his sculpture ‘Boy’ which was a feature in the Millennium Dome (a large dome shaped building in London) and later exhibited in the Venice Bienalle(a major contemporary art exhibition that takes place in odd years). 4 links are 2 more pics after the jump.
Mueck has posted his lifelike scultures at shows at major galleries in New York, Germany as well as the Millenium Dome in London.
In 2002, his sculpture Pregnant Woman was purchase by the Natinoal Gallery of Australia for AU$800,000.

Dears,
My girlfriend and I are two real enthusiasts of Ron’s work, however we were never “blessed” with the opportunity of attending one of his exhibitions.
Today we are living in Portugal and are aware that most probably no exhibition of his will, in a short term, occur in our Country; nevertheless nothing stops us from attending another one that might take place within Europe. So and in this line of idea can you be so kind in letting us know what are the next scheduled “European†exhibitions.
Thanks in advance! Best Regards Miguel

Hi, I can see no response to when Ron Mueck’s work will be exhibited in London again… When the new Saatchi Gallery opens will there be any permanent works of Ron Mueck there? I am lucky enough to have seen Dead Dad at the Sensations exhibition and the few sculptures at the National Gallery (including the pregnant woman which was amazing) but am desperate to re-visit and go with some new fan friends of mine….. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT!!!

September 30th, 2007 at 8:17 am
My friend and I had a similar question to one asked many times here: WHERE is Ron Mueck exhibiting next? So we put together a mini-website on his work and exhibit schedule. http://www.squidoo.com/ron-mueck/
We have only found info covering his schedule til Oct 2007. If anyone knows where else he’ll be exhibiting his work in 2008, or beyond, please let me know. I’ll update the website, which is linked to a number of blogs and conversations about his incredible work. Thanks!
