Galerie Daniel Templon is proud to announce an exhibition of recent works by Sir Anthony Caro. The show pays homage to the master of modern sculpture, who died in 2013.

Born in 1924 and knighted by the Queen of England in 1987, Anthony Caro is considered to be one of the greatest sculptors of the last fifty years. A former student of Henry Moore, Anthony Caro constantly re-invented the language of modern sculpture, experimenting with a wide range of different materials. Over the years, his work evolved from the radically abstract line of the sixties to an avant-garde exploration of space, always with a deep-seated artistic freedom.

Last Works, a selection of sculptures from his final two years comprising steel pipes, beams, discs and farm tools, reveal new facets of Anthony Caro’s work. Evolving from his exploration of how people view works in public spaces, the Park Avenue series suggests the movement, speed and horizontality so characteristic of the thoroughfares of New York. The captivating forms of a work such as Horizon condense in a few structured lines the astonishing creativity and boundless energy of an artist who never ceased exploring the language of abstraction.
