Highlights include American artist Jeff Koons Hon RA, whose
figures for his 1980s «Banality» series were drawn from cheap tchotchkes; Frank Benson, whose Human Statue (Jessie)(2011) reproduces,
using high - end digital technology, a stunning simulacrum of dancer and musician Jessie Gold; and newly elected Academician Rebecca Warren, known for her plaster
figures filtered through other artists from
Giacometti to cartoonist Robert Crumb.
