<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Widely recognized as one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th century, Anthony Caro (1924-2013) rose to prominence in the 1960s with imposing painted steel sculptures. This catalog features work spanning the British artist's six-decade career.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Anthony Caro played a pivotal role in the development of twentieth&hyphen;century sculpture. After studying sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools in London, he worked as assistant to Henry Moore. He came to public attention with a show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1963, where he exhibited large abstract sculptures brightly painted and standing directly on the ground so that they engaged the spectator on a one&hyphen;to&hyphen;one basis. This was a radical departure from the way sculpture had hitherto been seen and paved the way for future developments in three&hyphen;dimensional art.</p><p>Toby Glanville s photography is featured in numerous publications, including <i>Family</i> (Phaidon, 2005), <i>Actual Life</i> (2003), <i>Then Things Went Quiet</i> (2003) and <i>The Lebanese Kitchen</i> (Phaidon, 2012). Collections in which his work is held include the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Council, British Land, the Bruce Bernard Collection and the National Portrait Gallery, London.</p>"
