Over the past 20 years, the sculptor Antony Gormley has created some of the most memorable and controversial public art installations in Britain, the United States, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Mexico, Australia and China. His work has focused on the human figure and each piece is either cast directly from his own body or one of his volunteer models. He is best known for large-scale landscape interventions, such as Another Place, where 100 cast-iron figures are installed facing the horizon on the coastal mud-flats at Cuxhaven, Germany; The Angel of the North, commissioned by the city of Gateshead in England; and Inside Australia, where 51 sculptures were cast from the inhabitants of Menzies in western Australia, and set in 10 square kilometers of a dried lake. Gormley has also created many collaborative works in major public museum sites, such as the 190,000 figures in Asian Field and the 250 Domain sculptures made of stainless-steel bars commissioned by the Baltic art center in Gateshead, England. This catalogue raisonne is the definitive guide to Gormley's career. An extensive, large-format publication, it is the first major retrospective of his most significant works. Each chapter considers one of 25 projects in a comprehensive visual essay and a text written by the artist, explaining the genesis, creation, and installation of the work. An extended illustrated essay by the renowned political philosopher and writer Richard Noble will consider the development of Gormley's work, its place in the context of late twentieth-century sculpture, and the problematic use of his own body as a model for sculptural forms, as well as offering the first analysis of the political nature of hiscollaborative works.

评分03年在Shanghai Sculpture Space第一次看到他的作品Asian Field 十年后去Gateshead再次被Angel of the North震撼 于是找来这本书回顾他近三十年的创作生涯 除了以雕塑来探讨人在这个世界的存在 更强调人与空间的互动 雕塑不是静止的 它所处的地理环境所经历的时间都赋予它新的意义
评分创作手法超有趣又不可思议。翻模浇铸的超超棒!大型小型人体各种···好喜欢在中国做的那满满2屋子的小泥人····=▽=
评分有幸看到这本书。艺术家应该是有一个一辈子都在思索的问题吧。
