For more than thirty-five years, Antony Gormley has sought to explore the relationship of the human body to space and to reinvigorate and test the potential of sculpture with dramatic outdoor sitings. This definitive monograph, compiled in close collaboration with the artist, examines Gormley s career, from his earliest sketches to his best-known public installations. With unprecedented access to archives of unpublished work, the studio, and the artist himself, Martin Caiger-Smith examines the relationship between Gormley s life and art and identifies the vision that ties together a vast canon of work in an extraordinary range of media and materials. Best known for his major public works that most visibly represent his rigorous and innovative approach to sculpture, Gormley is a prolific and intellectual artist whose own privacy and interiority create a tension between ideas of the individual and the universal.With images that range from childhood snapshots to photographs of his most recent gallery installations, this book traces the evolution of Gormley s work, from the drawings he makes in the studio, through the evolving process of casting his own body in various forms, to masterpieces such as the colossal Angel of the North or the scattered figures of Another Place. With lavish images that show the scale and impact of Gormley s work many never published before and with anecdotes and notes on process from the artist seamlessly integrated into Caiger-Smith s careful critical narrative, this book is a comprehensive survey of a truly monumental career.

A new and updated edition of the definitive monograph on the British artist Antony Gormley, now available in an affordably priced format This beautiful and comprehensive monograph, expanded and updated in a new affordably priced edition, examines the entirety of Gormley's career, from his earliest sketches to his best-known public installations. Martin Caiger-Smith's 'magnificent, magisterial overview' (The Independent) examines the relationship between Gormley's life and art and identi-fies the singular vision that ties together a vast canon of work in an extraordinary range of media and materials. Best known for the major public works that most visibly represent his innovative approach to sculpture, Gormley is a prolific artist who has renegotiated the tension between the individual and the universal. Drawing on images that range from childhood snap-shots to photographs of his most recent installations, this book traces the evolution of Gormley's work, from the drawings he makes every day in the studio, through the constantly evolving process of casting his own body in various forms, to the ultimate expression of his ideas in such masterpieces as the colossal Angel of the North or the scattered figures of Another Place. Illustrated with hundreds of images that explore the scale and impact of Gormley's work-including his acclaimed exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2019, as well as recent installations in Florence, Delos, and New York City-and 'dense with insight and deeply considered analysis from the author' (Financial Times), this book is the definitive survey of a monumental career.

Beginning his career in the 1970s after studying architecture, Bryant quickly became one of the most sought-after photographers by the architectural press. This book reveals how, following the general shift from black-and-white to colour, his work went on to define the image of 1990s architecture. Drawing from the art of the 17th century Dutch painters he admires, Bryant brings to his images a unique sensitivity, especially in the use of natural light. At the same time, his lifelong interest in Modernism can be traced in the emphasis on geometry and engagement with abstraction featured in many of his compositions. As well as discussing his iconic photographs of Scarpa’s architecture, London, and the Sir John Soane's Museum, the book highlights Bryant’s collaborations with some of the giants of 20th-century architecture, including Tadao Ando, Geoffrey Bawa, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Hans Hollein, Richard Meier, James Stirling, Norman Foster and Richard Rogers. The authors examine his career and interests, set his work within a broader context, and provide insights into his methods and approaches. The book also shows the changes which have occurred in both the architectural profession and the medium of photography over the past five decades.
