Formation – Antony Gormley / SPECIAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION

Antony Gormley

Limited edition in 250 copies with a numbered giclée print on baryta paper, 10 × 13.2 cm.

From stones to blocks to slabs, the book FORMATION explores Antony Gormley’s ongoing dialogue with rock as a material and its mutable role in his practice. The book features materials from the artist’s archive, including unseen research images and an extensive collection of workbooks and photographs of Gormley’s work in various sites and contexts. These range from his early experiments with stones to his more recent pieces in concrete, granite and clay, which explore the relationship between the body and the built environment.

Antony Gormley is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960’s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.
