Juan Muñoz

Widely regarded as one of the leading sculptors of the last twenty years, the works of Juan Munoz (1953-2001), though strongly figurative, are not the usual stuff of classical sculpture. The enigmatic figures he portrays--dwarves, midgets, ballerinas--are captured at moments that imply a stories that must be imagined by their audience, their faces frozen in expressions ranging from laughter to aggression. Accompanying the first full-scale retrospective of Munoz's work, this book concentrates on sculpture and installation, and also examines his drawings, performance, and sound works, and a selection of his writings.
