JUAN MUÑOZ (1953-2001)

"Some of the best figurative sculptures seem to be aware of the impossibility of looking alive and aware of the boundaries they can occupy. The most successful ones are the ones that state those limits, the space between being just a sculpture and the man walking on the street. Not for a split second can you confuse one with the other." – Juan Muñoz (J. Muñoz, quoted in N. Benezra, ‘Sculpture and Paradox’, Juan Muñoz, exh. cat., Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C., 2001, p. 42).
