Antony Gormley

"The unity of Gormley's work is such tat one cannot separate sculptures devised for a gallery, museum or art centre from those that are temporarily or permanently installed in a public space or a landscape. It is true that the monumental works made for the city, teh countryside, the sea coast, the mountains or even the desert frequently have a celebratory dimension that is not as manifest in the sculptures shown in the white cube of the gallery. But the underlying questions that inform Gormley's art remain the same, wherever it is."

Pierre Tillet, excerpted from Sentinels in For the Time Being.

Antony Gormley: Horizon Field

Text by Martin Seel, Beat Wyss.
Published by Kunsthaus Bregenz

Since the 1980s, when the English sculptor Antony Gormley (born 1950) first began casting figures from his own body in lead and iron, his principal concern has been opening up new artistic and social venues for the display of his work. In realizing his latest work, “Horizon Field,” in Austria, the artist has installed 100 figures at an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet; the figures face every direction but never towards one another. The mountain landscape, with its beguiling mix of natural beauty, urbanity and the sociality of old valley communities, provides an ideal experimental field for Gormley's investigations into the relationship between nature and culture. Of this project, the artist said: “It asks basic questions: who are we, what are we, where do we come from and to where are we headed?” Photographs of the landscape installation are contextualized with images of the artist's previous works.

Antony Gormley: For the Time Being

Edited by Jill van Coenegrachts, Alessandra Bellavita. Text by Pierre Tillet.
Published by Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac

Antony Gormley (born 1950) is famed for the monumentality of his sculptures, the most famous example of which is the “Angel of the North,” built in 1998 in Gateshead, England. For his exhibition at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris, Gormley presents both large-scale sculptures and works that are comparatively lighter and less declarative of mass and presence. Published for this exhibition, Antony Gormley: For the Time Being examines recent works exploring this tension, such as the Construct series, which range from a standing male figure with his hands at his sides and his head turned, to a cluster of vertical blocks that could be described as post-Constructivist, and recent public commissions such as “Exposure” (2010, executed for a site in the Netherlands) and “Habitat” (2010, erected in Anchorage, Alaska), which also demonstrate this tension of mass in space versus constellated nodes in space.

Antony Gormley: Standing Matter

Essays by Norman Rosenthal and Eckhard Schneider. Foreword by Thaddaeus Ropac.
Published by Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac

In Standing Matter, British sculptor Antony Gormley presents new works of sculpture cast primarily in lead and from his own body. Though they are welded together in such a way as to suggest having been derived from drawings--Gormley is a master draftsman--that is never the case.
