| Sir
Anthony Caro (British, 1924 - )
Born in Surrey, England in 1924, Caro is considered one of
the masters of modern sculpture. Caro began his career with
training at the Royal Academy Schools of London and as an
assistant to Henry Moore. His early work owes much to Picasso,
and by the early 1960s, Caro was welding standardized metal
units into abstract configurations. His ideas and materials
have continued to dominate sculptural practice, and he has
become an influential figure among many younger artists.
Caro’s project for Art of this Century is a cast paper
book printed with an evocative image of an apple and a woman’s
buttocks. This piece belongs to a series of books produced
by Caro over the past decade. At once monumental and intimate,
it suggests the possibility for a personal relationship with
significant sculpture. In addition, Art of this Century published
a conversation between Caro and his fellow master sculptor
Eduardo Chillida.
