Summary "Ron Mueck's sculpture first came to major critical attention during the Sensation exhibition which began at the Royal Academy, London, in 1997, before travelling to Berlin and New York. Usually cast in silicone, fibreglass and acrylic, his works are celebrated for their incredibly life-like detail -- although his manipulation of scale means that they evoke physical reality rather than imitate it directly. For Mueck, once a model-maker for television, advertising and film, the making of each sculpture is fundamental to its meaning, and the perfect execution of each piece crucial to its psychological impact. Here, Colin Wiggins, Deputy Head of Education at the National Gallery, looks at how each of the new works was made, and at the artist's chief inspirations from the Gallery's collection. The writer and curator Susanna Greeves, who has worked closely with Mueck for several years, then considers his sculpture as part of a wider tradition"--P. [4] of cover
