The Author

Anthony Caro significantly influenced 20th-century sculpture. After his education at the Royal Academy Schools, he assisted Henry Moore. His 1963 Whitechapel Gallery exhibition displayed vibrant, abstract sculptures placed directly on the ground, transforming the viewer’s interaction. This innovative approach influenced subsequent three-dimensional art. Caro used diverse materials like steel, bronze, and wood. His works were showcased worldwide, earning him numerous awards and honors, including knighthood in 1987. Additionally, Toby Glanville’s photographs are in esteemed collections like the Victoria & Albert Museum.
