Antony Gormley

Sexual Field: Asexual Field (2001)
Lithograph in colours on wove
31.5 X 41.4 cms 
Edition of 200
Hand signed and numbered by the artist
Framed

£1,500 (incl. VAT) 

 

Gormley has previously exhibited at the Serpentine in 1981 and 1987, marking a departure from his well-known body casts to other works in which the artist aimed to provide ‘vessels’ for the imagination. He exhibited one sculpture in each of the Serpentine South’s four galleries, and one work outside. This was the first time any of these sculptures had been displayed in public. 

This limited edition sees two figures suspended in space but conjoined through abstract lines. Delicately balanced on the paper, warm orange hues surround the two subjects, either pulling or pushing them together. This work is a timely reminder of Gormely's continuous investigation into the relationship between the human body and space.

Antony Gormley (b. 1950) is widely acclaimed for his sculptures, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship of the human body to space. His work has developed the potential opened up by sculpture since the 1960s through a critical engagement with both his own body and those of others in a way that confronts fundamental questions of where human beings stand in relation to nature and the cosmos. Gormley continually tries to identify the space of art as a place of becoming in which new behaviours, thoughts and feelings can arise.

Gormley was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994, the South Bank Prize for Visual Art in 1999, the Bernhard Heiliger Award for Sculpture in 2007, the Obayashi Prize in 2012 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2013. In 1997 he was made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) and was made a knight in the New Year’s Honours list in 2014. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, an Honorary Doctor of the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity and Jesus Colleges, Cambridge. Gormley has been a Royal Academician since 2003.
