Fort Worth Museum of Modern Art

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents the special exhibition of work by renowned contemporary sculptor Ron Mueck, an exceptional artist and a virtuoso of hyper realistic sculpture Ron Mueck’s Untitled (Seated Woman), 1999, in the Modern’s permanent collection, became a community favorite when it was first put on exhibit for the opening of the Modern’s new building in 2002. Since that time, the Museum has continued to receive numerous comments, e-mail messages, and inquiries from visitors about this much-loved work of art. Thirteen works will be on view in the special exhibition, including Untitled (Seated Woman), 1999; the critically acclaimed Dead Dad, 1996–97, a scrupulously rendered, three-foot-long sculpture of the artist’s father lying naked on the floor; In Bed, 2005/6, a twenty-foot sculpture of a woman lying tucked in bed; and Baby, 2000, a ten-inch-long newborn infant. A thirty-minute video showing the artist at work will also be part of the exhibition, along with examples of his working materials and casts. This exhibition presents mature subject matter, including nudity. Meet you host to the left of the main door.
