Ron Mueck at the NGV

Artlovers – your attention please! The National Gallery of Victoria and Herald Benefits proudly offer you the chance to win a trip for two to Melbourne to experience the emotional power of a major retrospective of acclaimed sculptor Ron Mueck.

This exclusive subscriber prize includes return economy class flights from Sydney to Melbourne, a night in the luxurious Sofitel Melbourne on Collins and two tickets to the Ron Mueck exhibition (total value $1250).

Mueck’s sculptures are some of the most widely acclaimed in the international contemporary art arena. His figures, often naked and suspended in introspection or deep contemplation, present both emotional and physical states of exposure, creating a sense of voyeuristic awkwardness in his viewers. This is the most comprehensive exhibition of work by the Australian-born, London-based artist ever staged and includes four new works.

To enter the draw for this $1250 package, tell us in 25 words or less what your favourite piece of art is, and why?
