A comprehensive monograph on the pioneering artist Anthony Caro.
Regarded as the greatest British artist of his generation and
represented in museum collections all over the world, Anthony Caro
revolutionized sculpture in the 1960s, by taking the radical step
of removing the plinth and placing his work directly on the ground
not only changed our relationship with the artwork, but the
direction of sculpture itself. This beautifully designed book
includes a comprehensive survey of Caro's work over a period of
more than half a century - ranging from his time as Henry Moore's
assistant in the early 1950s right up until his death in 2013. More
than fifty of his masterworks are each examined in detail through
never before published archival installation images and comments by
the artist from the time of production or exhibition. Furthermore,
a collection of specially commissioned new documentary photographs
by Toby Glanville capture the processes behind the sculptor's work,
from conception to production to installation and exhibition in
major exhibitions and installations. A collection of short texts by
leading contemporary artists, including Antony Gormley, Liz Larner,
Joel Shapiro, Simon Starling, Frank Stella, Rebecca Warren and
Richard Wentworth demonstrate the influence of Caro's work, and a
series of key essays by renowned critics and art historians, such
as Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, provide an unparalleled
overview of his career and complete this intimate celebration of
the artist.
Children's edition of Phaidon's best-selling The Art Book,
presenting 30 of the most significant artists from all periods.
Each spread is illustrated by one or often more works by the artist
and accompanied by a fun and involving text that introduces the
reader to the artist and invites children to look more closely at
each of the variety of paintings, sculptures and photographs
included here.
