Catalogue Note
There are a lot of artists who have rediscovered the figure in sculpture in the last decade. Not one of them seems to me to deal with the human presence with such playfulness, historical knowledge and wit as Juan Muñoz. Adrian Searle ("Muñoz Moves Into Spider's Space", The Guardian, October 4, 2000)
