One solo exhibition in particular, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City (1978), was influential in establishing Hanson as one of the leading sculptors of the late twentieth century. The exhibition unexpectedly attracted more than 297,000 visitors, thereby setting an attendance record for the museum that has never been surpassed. Among the many awards and accolades Hanson received before his death in January 1996, he was perhaps most proud of those that identified him as a Florida artist. In 1983, he was given the Ambassador of the Arts Award of the State of Florida, and two years later he received the first annual "Florida Prize" of ,000 for his outstanding achievements in sculpture.</p> <p>In 1987, he was honored with a "Duane Hanson Day" proclamation in Broward County, and he was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 1992. Today, it is the general consensus that Hanson was the most popular and significant artist ever to have come out of South Florida.</p> </div> </div> <div class="div_artist duane-hanson" style="; display: block; float: left; padding: 20px 0;"> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left;"><img src="https://www.artmolds.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/duane_hanson.jpg" alt="Man on a Lawn Mower" width="144" height="174" /></div> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left; max-width: 190px; text-align: left;"> <p><strong>Man on a Lawn Mower</strong><br />1995 Polychromed bronze with objects.</p> </div> </div> <div class="div_artist duane-hanson" style="; display: block; float: left; padding: 20px 0;"> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left;"><img src="https://www.artmolds.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/duane_hanson.jpg" alt="Tourists II" width="144" height="149" /></div> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left; max-width: 190px; text-align: left;"> <p><strong>Tourists II</strong><br />1988 Polychromed fiberglass on bronze, adorned with real clothing, and enhanced by accessories and props,</p> </div> </div> <div class="div_artist duane-hanson" style="; display: block; float: left; padding: 20px 0;"> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left;"><img src="https://www.artmolds.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/duane_hanson.jpg" alt="Self-Portrait and Model" width="195" height="179" /></div> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left; max-width: 190px; text-align: left;"> <p><strong>Self-Portrait and Model</strong><br /> 1979 Polyvinyl acetate/mixed media</p> </div> </div> <div class="div_artist duane-hanson" style="; display: block; float: left; padding: 20px 0;"> <div style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left;"><img src="https://www.artmolds.com/pub/media/wysiwyg/duane_hanson.jpg" alt="Janitor" width="100" height="157" /></div> <div class="Janitor" style="display: inline-block; padding: 10px; float: left; max-width: 190px; text-align: left;"> <p><strong>Janitor</strong><br />1973 Polyester, fiberglass, mixed media.

What can generate more interest, fascination, beauty, ugliness, joy, shock or contempt than a human being. Most of my time involves concentrating on the sculpting aspect. Casting, repairing, assembling, painting, correcting it until it pleases me. That takes some doing as I'm rarely satisfied."</span><br /> <span style="font-size: small; color: #000000;"> --<em>Duane Hanson, Nov. 26, 1981</em></span></p> </div> </div>
