This spring the Kunsthal will present a unique selection of hyperrealist works by the most important sculptors of the past fifty years. ‘Hyperrealism Sculpture’ features work by the trailblazing American pioneers George Segal, Duane Hanson and John DeAndrea. Their example was followed worldwide by artists like Ron Mueck, Sam Jinks, Evan Penny, Maurizio Cattelan and Paul McCarthy who produce representations of the human body, each from their own perspective. The recognizable and accessible human figures offer an intimate reflection on human nature. Both young and old will undoubtedly be astounded by the convincing reality of some of the human figures.
