The Wall
Which one is the sculpture?
“Owen!!! Get me a glass of soda with some ice in it! And make it snappy!”
Whoa! talk about a poster child for “Pull-Ups”…the jingle begs to to be sung: “…I’m a BIG KID now!..”
That’s amazing
Damn Steroids! It’s so hard to tell if it’s a boy or a girl.
That’s right Mueck, that’s where it itches. Right there…
It is going to take more than one man to lift Kim Jong Il up off the ground.
OMG ! that baby sooo looks like Owen’s mother – you hit it right on the head there Rob
That baby will require 55 gal drums of Irn Bru !!
“You’re right Carl. That doctor did a lousy job, on your circumcision”
“Next time the Wilson’s ask me to baby-sit, I am saying ‘NO’”.
what the hell is that? what r u trying to do?
That’s a crazy sculpture. Somehow reminds me of a chuck close painting. I don’t know why…maybe just the detail in the face.
Dude thats an ugly baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First they cloned a sheep, and now this.
NEWSFLASH: Doctors Astounded!
Baby delivers fully clothed Lilliputian.
I’m glad someone knew what I was referring to!
“Owen!!!” (Throw Mama from the train)
1) the baby’s arms are way too long. When a baby is born its arms will not reach that far.
2) the baby’s legs (if finished) are way too short.
3) maybe the artist should take a better look at a newborn – especially a girl baby.
After this, momma might need an episiotomy.
“No No, it’s YOUR turn to change the nappy!! Just wait til she’s finished…”
Ron Mueck’s “A Girl” gave me an idea for a photography project. Imagine a montage of photographs of side-by-side images of individuals, septuagenarians and older. One photograph immediately after they’ve enter this world and the other just before they leave it.
There must be some inner beauty … ?
what the hell? ….. what the hell???
Honey I didn’t shrink the kids this time…
“That’s one small grunt for man, one giant groan for motherhood.”
The overly dominant nose and the huge arching wrinkle above one eye seem to purposely dash any hope that the baby look at all feminine. As a mother and a baby sculptress (lifelikesculptures.com) I find it sad that he chose to produce such an unnattractive version of the female newborn.
Yikes, the stretch marks that left behind!!!
Hey Doc, can you through a couple extra stitches in for me?
Ron Mueck is incredible. Anyone who gets a chance to see his work should go!
totally great!! brilliant!!
