Extract

Duane Hanson, super-realist sculptor, has for years mystified America with his startling, lifelike images. Hanson, a native of Alexandria, Minnesota, was born January 17, 1925. At a young age he fastened onto art through crayons, scissors and the single art book his local library held. After going through four different art schools, two marriages and several teaching jobs, Hanson decided he wanted to move to New York and try to make a name for himself.
Hanson has not always known the success that now supports himself, his wife and two children. It was not until 1969 that Hanson held his first one-man show in New York City. It was there that Hanson displayed his human-clone sculptures and was told by dealer Ivan Karp that he would be "famous but not rich." Hanson sold his first sculpture there for $1,200. Today his pieces sell for more than $35,000 and are exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world.
