Antony Gormley is widely recognised as one of the most imaginative and original artists working in the UK today. This richly illustrated book accompanies The Hayward exhibition, the artist’s first major showing in London in over 25 years. Since the 1980s Gormley has focused consistently on the human figure, often using his own body as the starting point for works that explore our perception of space, architecture, and bodily presence. Alongside specially commissioned photography of Gormley’s major new projects, the book includes an original visual essay by the artist that elaborates his aesthetic preoccupations with images selected from his own photographic archive.
