Tate Modern Artists: Antony Gormley - Softcover
One of the most celebrated and talked about artists of his generation, Turner Prize-winner Antony Gormley (b. 1950) generates lively debate and critical acclaim. His large-scale, iconic projects such as Angel of the North at Gateshead, the 100 cast-iron sculptures he placed on a British beach for Another Place, and the hundreds of small terracotta figurines he asked the public to create for Field have cemented his place among today’s leading contemporary artists. A consummate showman, Gormley has sought a broad stage and often collaborative audience for his work over the years. In this survey of the artist’s work, Martin Caiger-Smith examines Gormley’s influences and assesses his relationship to minimalism, arte povera, land and environmental art, and his response to the challenge of engaging with figurative sculpture at the beginning of the twenty-first century. With over 100 color illustrations, this is the perfect introduction to a widely respected contemporary artist.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Pocos artistas contemporáneos han sido tan aclamados popularmente y aclamado por la crítica como Antony Gormley. Esta publicación, con más de 100 ilustraciones en color, es la introducción ideal a la obra de uno de los artistas más populares y atractivos de la actualidad, ofreciendo un estudio de toda su carrera y un análisis profundo de seis obras clave. Gormley ha logrado llevar su trabajo más allá de la galería involucrando al público en escenarios nunca antes planteados: proyectos icónicos a gran escala, como "Angel of the North" de 20 metros de altura en Gateshead, "Another Place" 100 esculturas de hierro fundido en el mar frente a Crosby Beach o los cientos de pequeñas figuras de terracota hechas a mano por parte del público en diferentes lugares del mundo formando parte del proyecto "Field". El autor sitúa el arte de Gormley en su contexto histórico, explorando su relación con el minimalismo, el arte povera, el arte de la tierra y el medio ambiente, así como el desafío de comprometerse con la escultura figurativa de principios del siglo XXI.
