Antony Gormley

Antony Gormley (born 1950 in London) gained worldwide fame with his sculptures and monumental installations that focus on the human body in space. His work explores how a person relates to architecture and landscape through the body. With minimal and powerful forms, and materials such as lead and iron, he raises fundamental questions about the position of humanity in relation to nature and the world. Antony Gormley won the Turner Prize in 1994 and has been a member of the Royal Academy since 2003.
