The exhibition
is based on work in the collection of Sir Anthony Caro OM
and is drawn from all periods of his career. From an early terracotta
figure,
made when he was a student at the Royal Academy Schools (1947-52)
to a
recent bronze, his progression is charted from figurative sculpture
through
purely abstract forms to mature works that form part of the epic
theme of
the Trojan Wars or which are based in his response to painting or
musical
composition.
Questions put
to Anthony Caro by people from East Sussex,
together with his responses, have formed the basis of texts on this
web site
and in the exhibitions publication. His story is told through
fifteen carefully
selected sculptures showing the diversity of scale, medium and concepts
for
sculpture that have established Caro as the foremost living sculptor
in
Britain today.
Note: all of
the sculptures are from the collection of the artist,
