Just a quick post to touch on the work of Ron Mueck, a fascinating sculptor. I saw his exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum a few years back and it was a wild and eye-opening experience. His sculptures are incredibly life-like. Even that description does it no justice - you would swear these pieces are breathing when you look at them. One thing I like about his work in particular is his use of perspective. Sometimes the size is larger than life, other times 2/3 scale and also miniature, but always incredibly and biologically detailed.
There are some good pics on the Brooklyn Museum site.

Went on the Brooklyn Museum site and the very first set of sculptures (two old women caught in conversation) I saw when I was in Israel last year! An awesome piece(s).
