Description
Sir Anthony Caro - A Pop Up sculpture entitled 'Leaf Pool' 1996-2000 mounted in its own box. Made in 500 copies this one is numbered 318 and signed by Caro. This is a collaboration between the sculptor and the award winning designer and paper engineer David Pelham. Caro worked with Pelham to produce 'Leaf Pool' . Sir Anthony Alfred Caro Om Cbe (8 March 1924 – 23 October 2013) was an English abstract sculptor whose work is characterised by assemblages of metal using 'found' industrial objects. He began as a member of the modernist school, having worked with Henry Moore early in his career. He was lauded as the greatest British sculptor of his generation. Born in New Malden, England, Caro studied engineering at Christ’s College, Cambridge, before training as a sculptor at the Royal Academy Schools, London. From 1951 to 1953, he worked as an assistant to Henry Moore. His early works, which explored the expressive possibilities of modernist figuration, were modeled in clay and cast in bronze. His first solo exhibition was held at Milan’s Galleria del Naviglio in 1956, followed the next year by an exhibition at Gimpel Fils, his first in London. Caro’s breakthrough exhibition of sculptures at London’s Whitechapel Gallery in 1963 garnered considerable critical attention. In the mid-1960s, he initiated a series of smaller sculptures called Table Pieces, which extend over the edges of the tables on which they are displayed. In 1969, he established his studio in a former piano factory and began making large-scale unpainted works in rolled steel. His monumental After Olympia (1986–87) offers a sculptural response to the multifigure pediment of the ancient Temple of Zeus in Olympia, Greece, while the series The Trojan War (1993–94); engages with figurative and narrative sculptural traditions. The Last Judgement (1995–99), a twenty-five-part sculptural installation in terra-cotta, wood, and steel, was exhibited at the 48th Biennale di Venezia in 1999. Caro’s interest in architecture culminated in London’s Millennium Bridge (2000), which he designed in collaboration with Foster + Partners. In 2008, his work was exhibited at three museums in Pas-de-Calais, France, to accompany the opening of his Chapel of Light installation at Église Saint Jean-Baptiste, Bourbourg.
