With only a week to go until Lifelike opens, more works are heading into a galleries. A look at the newest additions as they go into place:

Measuring just 17 x 18 x 11 inches, Ron Mueck’s Crouching Boy in Mirror (1999-2000) appears to be checking out the reflection of Charles Ray’s yet-to-be-hung No (1991).
Rarely lent out, Duane Hanson’s Janitor (1973) came to us from the Milwaukee Art Museum secured firmly in a crate. Photo: Paul Schmelzer
