Juan Muñoz

One of the leading artists of his generation, the Spanish sculptor Juan Munoz (1953-2001) was known for his diverse and highly original body of work centering on the narrative possibilities of figures in environments. "Juan Munoz" illustrates in full color approximately sixty works--including sculptures, drawings, and several major installations--which will be included in a major exhibition presented by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Art Institute of Chicago in October 2001. Munoz´s early work focused on architectural objects that implied a transitory human presence.
