Washington Post Gallery, James Cohan Gallery, & Extensive Gallery

This guy makes various sized sculptures of humans, some are huge, and others are tiny. They are so realistic it’s unbelievably bizarre. I’m not sure what his deal with naked people is, but the work is cool looking. If you are at work, beware of some nudity, but hey it’s art, right? Specifically, in the second link, there is a piece with a nude mother with a still connected baby lying on her. It’s pretty gross, and pretty interesting.

Wikipedia says “Mueck’s sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images.”

Oh yeah, number 9 in the Washington Post gallery looks like Dan Kohler. It’s actually of a boy, but the top of the face looks alot like Dan.
