DUANE HANSON

A retrospective of some of his work from the 70s at the Van De Weghe gallery has this kind of fascinating quality that his work seems to take on after a few decades have passed. There’s a sense of the era here that’s eerily immediate in a way most things only seem like artifacts, as if these are actualy people somehow teleported from the past into this century. I don’t understand how waxworks exist when fiberglass sculpture like this is infinitely more superior in its realism.
