Antony Gormley is a distinguished British artist and sculptor, perhaps best known for Angel of the North (1998), a national landmark in the UK, and Event Horizon (2007), a multi-part installation that premiered in London before travelling to New York, São Paulo, and Hong Kong. He won the Turner Prize in 1994 and has been a Royal Academician since 2003. He was knighted in 2014 and appointed Companion of Honour for his services to art in 2025. Gormley is the co-author, with Martin Gayford, of Shaping the World: Sculpture from Prehistory to Now, published by Thames & Hudson in 2020.
