The Warhol was also showing works by Ron Mueck, an artist I didn't know before our trip. Turns out he makes ultra-lifelike sculptures of people, only they're insanely tiny or humongous. His sculpture of an enormous newborn baby girl (it's pictured on the Wikipedia site) was breathtaking, and it was amazing to see it while holding my own precious baby girl. Ellie liked it, too--she waved hi to the sculpture and said "bye bye" to it many times. If you get a chance to see any of Mueck's work, do it--he's incredible.
