Antony Gormley occupies an unusual position as a highly popular
sculptor - known chiefly for his Angel of the North (1998), a
national landmark in the UK - who is also widely regarded as one of
the most intellectually challenging artists working
internationally. He is grounded in archaeology and anthropology,
and looks to Asian and Buddhist traditions as much as to Western
sculptural history, which he believes reached a punctuation point
with Rodin. This is the first book to focus on Gormley's thoughts
on sculpture, positioning his career and artistic philosophy in
relation to its history. The book is structured thematically over
four chapters: the first explores Gormley's thoughts on the body,
time and space in relation to major works including European Field
(1993) and 'Still Standing' (2011), Gormley's rehang of the
classical rooms at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. The
second chapter, 'Sculptors', was first delivered as a series of
five lectures for the BBC; in each, Gormley discusses a sculpture
he considers to be of huge creative importance: Epstein's The Rock
Drill (1913-15), Brancusi's The Endless Column (1935-38),
Giacometti's La Place (1948-49), Joseph Beuys's Plight (1985) and
Richard Serra's The Matter of Time (2005). In the third chapter,
Gormley outlines the influence of Buddhist and Jain sculpture on
his work and ideas, and the fourth showcases the artist's most
recent sculptures.
