Fifth in a series of seven films about artists at work today. Duane Hanson
Last summer an exhibition of DUANE HANSON 's sculpture broke all attendance records at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
Tonight's programme not only features that exhibition, but also visits the artist at work in his Florida studio.
His neo-realist' sculpture may not endear him to the ' art press ' but the success of his exhibitions prove him to be one of the most popular contemporary artists in America.
' I always wanted an art form that would relate to everyday people and not be so lofty and esoteric that it took a genius to figure it out.'
