–Body Pressure– Sculptures since the 1960’s examines the many different approaches to the human figure in contemporary sculpture through a selection of works from the collections of the National Galeries in Berlin. Free of any exhibition architecture, the expansive Historic Hall is transformed into a light-flooded “sculpture garden”. Often fragmented and abstract the figurative sculpture of the present always negotiates our contemporary social and cultural context.

Ron Mueck’s Hyperrealism
Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in the United Kingdom. His sculptures that look like real people thanks to a really advanced technology, are going to be presented in Foundation Cartier in Paris and possible will have even bigger exhibitions. This hyperrealistic art is known for real looking like human faces in amazingly big sizes, whole bodies with a mind blowing area and proportional to real people’s scale figures shown in different actions!
Some of the most known art pieces by Mueck are The Woman in Bed, The Newborn and The Man’s Face. Unfortunately, I will not see it (😭) becuse it’s gonna be much later in Paris, so the last thing to do, is to see it in IPad…
