Frank Benson's 3D-Printed Juliana Huxtable Sculpture Crowned Artcritical's 2015 Pick

Frank Benson's 3D-printed sculpture of Juliana Huxtable, created in 2014-2015, served as a central figure in the 2015 Triennial at the New Museum. The work, titled "Juliana," measures 54 by 48 by 24 inches and is made from painted Accura Xtreme Plastic. Vogue magazine highlighted Huxtable's prominence, suggesting she was the star of the Triennial, which faced criticism from The Review Panel with guests Sharon Butler, Noah Dillon, and John Yau. Artcritical's selection emerged while considering two group exhibitions curated by William Corwin: "Cyborg" at Zürcher Gallery and "Devotion" at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery, both featuring Huxtable. The sculpture is courtesy of Andrew Kreps Gallery. David Cohen noted the piece as a fitting symbol for a year marked by growing transgender visibility.
