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: Model

Text by Michael Newman.
Published by White Cube

Fabricated from 100 tons of weathering sheet steel, Antony Gormley’s “Model” is both sculpture and building--human in form but at no point visible as a total figure. Installed at White Cube Bermondsey, London, the work can be entered through a ‘foot,’ from which visitors then journey through its interconnected internal chambers, the sculpture demanding that we adjust our pace and bend our bodies to its awkward geometry. Also included in the exhibition are new sculptures built of solid iron blocks, whose uncompromising orthogonals belie their emotional punch. Propping up the architecture, articulating a corner or lying flat on the ground, these dark works test the bounding condition of the space. A selection of Gormley’s working models, installed on a series of tables, complete the volume. Together, these works powerfully extend Gormley’s exploration of the body as a site of transformation.

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.

Published by Kunsthaus Bregenz

Antony Gormley has renewed figurative sculpture by pitching works based on his own body against a variety of scales to articulate a sense of embodied "awe" and spatial expansiveness for the human body. This volume accompanies Gormley's 2009 show in Bregenz.

Antony Gormley: Between You and Me

Text by Fernando Huici March.
Published by Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg/Paris

1994 Turner-Prize winner Antony Gormley has spent the last three decades investigating the human body, endeavoring to bring new energy to figurative sculpture. This beautifully produced volume accompanies a 2008-2009 European traveling exhibition. Major works are documented alongside details, essays and an interview.

Antony Gormley: Blind Light

Text by W.J.T. Mitchell, Susan Stewart, Anthony Vidler. Interview by Ralph Rugoff, Jacky Klein.
Published by Hayward Gallery Publishing

Over the past 25 years, Antony Gormley, perhaps Britain's best-known living sculptor, has revitalized the human image in sculpture. He won the 1994 Turner Prize and has had solo exhibitions at the Whitechapel, Tate, and Hayward galleries, White Cube and The British Museum, and internationally at the Corcoran Gallery, Documenta and the Venice Biennale. His radical investigations of the body as a place of memory and transformation use his own corpus as subject, tool and material. Conflating figure and ground, inside and outside, the physical and the psychological, Gormley explores complex relationships between the city, its architecture and its people. This richly illustrated catalogue is filled with new, never-before-seen sculptural works--a series of figures in light-infused webs of steel, and the monumental steel-block "Space Station," 20 feet high. Photographer Gautier Deblonde also chronicles a major new public project, "Event Horizon," which sites some 30 sculptures on buildings across central London, dramatically altering the city skyline. An in-depth interview with Gormley explores the development of his new work, as well as his relationship to the artists who have inspired him and to his contemporaries in the field of figurative sculpture.

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.

Published by Kerber

This extensive interview of British sculptural and installation artist Antony Gormley also documents two important exhibitions of the artist's work that took place in Germany during the late 1990s. Gormley, well-known for his figurative casts, has been the subject of exhibitions throughout the world since the early 1980s.
