Antony Gormley explores the relationship of the human body to space, often using his own body as a starting point.
Antony Gormley’s career spans nearly 40 years, during which time he has made sculpture that explores the relationship of the human body to space, often using his own body as his starting point. His work has been shown throughout the world, in galleries including the Tate in London and the Hermitage in St Petersburg, but it is also often on open display as public art, such as Another Place at Crosby Beach near Liverpool.
As well as works that he is well known for, like the iconic Angel of the North, we will look at some of his earlier and less well-known works to gain an overall view of the development of his work across his whole career.
