Ron Mueck



We got a family pass to the museums here in Pittsburgh. Some for Simon and some ofor us. We went to the Andy Warhol Museum recently to see some work by Ron Mueck. I guess he started his career early making puppets for the movie Labyrinth. The sculptural work we saw was gigantic, very realistic, and some of it was a little bit creepy because it was so big and real. We think this is him. He calls it Mask II.

wowie zowie! i'm not sure this would be legal in utah.

did you know that andy warhol once spoke at the university of utah, but that it wasn't really him, just someone he sent who pretended to be him?

bet there are a lot of good things to see in your fair city!
