Antony Gormley

(British, born 1950)
Antony Gormley is a British artist known for his exploration about the human body’s relationship to space. His popular public sculptures and installations include the monumental Another Place (1997) in Liverpool, Angel of the North (1998) in Gateshead, and Event Horizon (2007) in London. “I've never been interested in making statues,” the artist has said. “But I have been interested in asking what is the nature of the space a human being inhabits.” Born on August 30, 1950 in London, United Kingdom, the artist entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1968 where he met the artists-in-residence Barry Flanagan and Michael-Craig Martin. He then studied at the Central School of Art, Goldsmiths College, and the Slade School...
