Book Description
Sir Anthony Caro revolutionized the medium of sculpture in the 1960s when he moved away from making elaborately modelled, figurative works cast in bronze, instead creating large, abstract assemblages out of prefabricated steel and aluminum elements. Sculpture Laid Bare?honours the legacy of this titan of modernist sculpture. Monumental in scale, lyrically evocative and openly constructed, Caro's sculptures foreground their brute materiality and the unvarnished signs of their manufacture. Anthony Caro: Sculpture Laid Bare showcases four of Caro's late sculptures, some of the most ambitious the artist has ever produced as well as earlier work to demonstrate both the continuity and the divergences with the most recent sculptures. Also included in the book are essays by Kenneth Brummel and New York-based curator and critic Karen Wilkin that consider Caro's sculptures from the perspective of his studio practice and his previous work.

Book Description
"Anthony Caro holds a particular eminence as the artist who in recent years has most significantly extended the tradition of constructed sculpture established by Picasso on the eve of World War I. Caro was the first to create large sculptures that spread out along the ground, independent of base or pedestal. In creating these pieces he broke with the 'totemic' conventions of Western sculpture (still adhered to by Picasso and David Smith) in which the work rises to confront the viewer. These consequences were of major import. As William Rubin points out, 'The prevailing horizontality of Caro's sculpture makes available to him configurations hitherto unknown in sculpture. The interrelationships of the 'ground plan' and the vertical structures that rise from it--the rhyming, the analogies, even the puns of this dialogue--open a vast range of choices.' In effect, Caro's approached has enabled him 'to do something utterly new--to work, for the first time modern sculpture, in a non-pictorial, integrally three-dimensional manner.' This internationally esteemed British artist is now the subject of a comprehensive survey that reviews his early career and penetratingly analyzes his mature work, presenting the entire oeuvre to date against the historical background of twentieth-century sculpture. During the writing of this study the author had the benefit of repeated discussions with the artist. The book is not only a masterly introduction to Caro's work, but also a valuable scholarly tool, complete with chronology, bibliography, list of exhibitions, and extensive notes. The abundant illustrations make this volume the most inclusive pictorial record published on Caro's achievement." -- Back cover

Book Description
This is the sixth volume in Lund Humphries' series of monographs on British sculptor Anthony Caro and the first publication to focus on his use of stainless steel as a distinct body of work.0Caro employed stainless steel extensively, from intimately scaled Table Sculptures to extremely large works, over many decades, and in his mature works, Caro's exploration and interrogation of this material became increasingly important. 0Karen Wilkin analyses Caro's use of stainless steel in the context of the development of modernist constructed sculpture, pioneered in the UK by Caro and in the US by David Smith, a friend and admired predecessor, from whom Caro inherited most of the stainless steel he first employed, following Smith's untimely death in 1965. 0Karen Wilkin's text represents a much-needed overview of Caro's late career and a vital expansion of our understanding of 20th-century and early 21st-century modernist sculpture.
