CARO [Anthony Caro]

by Karen Wilkin, John Riddy (Photographer), Ian Barker (Editor)

This is a boxed set of Anthony Drawing in Space, Anthony Interior and Exterior, Anthony Figurative and Narrative Sculpture, Anthony Small Sculptures and Anthony Presence. The box has been specially designed by Anthony Caro. The five volumes in this set, each by a different critic, examine the various aspects of Caro's evolution individually, tracing the permutations of different themes - narrative, volume and mass, line and openness - throughout his work, over time. Each volume is independent and explores different territory, but cumulatively, by tracing these dominant themes, they provide new insight into the achievement of one of the undisputed giants of modernist art.
