Hyper Real Audio Tour – Duane Hanson

Published 2017
01:47

This audio tour features highlights from the Hyper Real exhibition. Hyperrealism, paralleling photorealism in painting, began in the 1960s and 70s when a number of sculptors became interested in a form of sculptural realism based on a vivid and lifelike representation of the human figure. From kinetic sculpture to bio art, this exhibition extends our perception of what constitutes the hyperreal.
