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.
