Duane Hanson

Cover download
Duane Hanson's figures are major attractions at every exhibition at which they appear. This book, which we are pleased to offer as a low-priced special edition, covers the entire spectrum of his fascinating oeuvre in a collection of full-page color plates.

Who has not seen them, Duane Hanson's larger-than-life figures which seem to have sprung directly from ordinary life? In the gallery, they quickly become the favourites of visitors, are beleaguered by school kids and jealously protected by gallery attendants. Those who dare to move close to the polyester- resincasts are rewarded with a view of things which could never be studied so candidly in real life: wrinkles, facial hair and other bodily imperfections. And yet Duane Hanson's objective is not blatant voyeurism but to access those things we prefer to overlook, to see the drabness of everyday life and our own final mortality. The helpless, empty gaze which characterizes almost all of his figures testifies to the high price paid by many for a life in the American dream. Until now, no study of Duane Hanson's complete oeuvre has been available on the market, a gap that is closed by this extensive monograph documenting all stages of his original work.
