Antony Gormley: Witness Early Lead Works
Antony Gormley has become one of the UK’s most popular artists, largely thanks to his sculptures of metal men standing on city roofs and remote beaches and the mighty ‘The Angel of the North’. This White Cube Mason’s Yard explores where his artistry began with this collection of Gormley’s early lead sculptures. Originating from the mid-1970s and produced up until the ’90s, the figures are among the most important of his career and fans of his work can chart how Gormley’s initial experimentations with lead laid the foundations for many subsequent bodies of work.
