The Figure Depictions of the figure can be traced across millennia of human history, from the fertility talisman popularly known as the Venus of Willendorf, which has been dated back as far as 23,000 BCE, to Ron Mueck’s closely observed Woman with Shopping, created in 2014. This coming season, the Museum’s exhibition schedule offers a rich array of works addressing the figure throughout the ages, from the diminutive gold figurines of ancient American cultures seen in Golden Worlds: The Portable Universe of Indigenous Colombia, to the hauntingly attenuated personages of Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure, to the deeply personal meditations on self and society explored in Philip Guston Now. 01 105 1/2 × 12 7/8 × 19 3/4”
