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.
Antony Mark David Gormley is a British sculptor. His works include the Angel of the North, a public sculpture in Gateshead in the north of England, commissioned in 1994 and erected in February 1998; Another Place on Crosby Beach near Liverpool; and Event Horizon, a multipart site installation which premiered in London in 2007, then subsequently in Madison Square in New York City (2010), São Paulo, Brazil (2012), and Hong Kong (2015-16).
Gormley's career began with a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1981. Almost all his work takes the human body as its subject, with his own body used in many works as the basis for metal castings.
