ANTONY GORMLEY ON SCULPTURE

Gormley occupies an unusual position as a highly popular sculptor who is also widely regarded as one of the most intellectually chal lenging artists working internationally. His art is grounded in archaeology andanthropology, and looks to Asian and Buddhist traditi ons as much as to Western sculptural history, which he believes reached a punctuation point with Rodin. This is the first book to fo cus on Gormleys thoughts on sculpture, positioning his career and artistic philosophy in relation to its history.
