About
Why this artist matters now
Juan Muñoz (1953, 2001) created enigmatic figurative sculptures and installations that combined ventriloquist dummies, architectural elements, and spatial manipulation to unsettle narrative and presence. His work emerged as central to 1980s and 1990s sculpture practice, establishing a distinctive vocabulary of displacement and psychological disquiet.
