Duane Hanson (1925-1996) was one of the most important American sculptors of the 20th century. He became famous in the '60s and ‘70s for his lifelike sculptures of everyday people that were cast from live models, then finished with hair, clothing and objects such as cups, purses and chairs. His work grew out of a highly developed social conscience. Hanson took photographs as a sketching tool for his sculptures. *For the first time ever, these photos will be available to the public!*
A Duane Hanson exhibit has not been on view in the Delaware Valley since the 1980s.
