Miscellaneous publications about Ron Mueck and his art
- From 2003 "Sculpture" Publication
- "The Progress Big Man A Conversation with Ron Mueck" by Sarah Tanguy
Most memorable statement: "To get bogged down in a debate over naturalism, realism, and illusionism when trying to sort out the hows and whys of Mueck's oeuvre is to miss the point. More interesting is a discussion of his standing in the history of figuration. A certain freshness and sincerity of vision distinguish him from the blasé irony of many of his contemporaries who also explore strategies of realism. Above all, Mueck is a master at orchestrating tensions that both attract and estrange. His figures invite close-up inspection of blemishes, hairs, veins, and expression, taking you on a psycho-topographical journey. If you stare long and deeply enough, you experience a horrific beauty. Yet the very same verisimilitude creates a weird distance that is as equally penetrating of our current existential state."
