Sir Anthony Alfred Caro was an English abstract sculptor who played a key role in the development of twentieth-century sculpture.
Caro trained at the Royal Academy School in London. In the early 1960s, he began making brightly colored abstract steel structures that he placed directly on the floor - the lack of a pedestal meant a radical shift in the dynamic between the work and the viewer. In addition to steel, he also created works in bronze, lead, silver, ceramics and wood, as well as on paper.
