Antony Gormley (Bilingual edition): Body Buildings

The book explores the relationship between the human body and the built environment through sculptures and drawings by Antony Gormley. > This publication illustrates the work in the exhibition through extensive installation photography, guiding readers from Gormley's new installation Resting Place II (2024) to a series of sculptures investigating the relation of body to building and finally to a group of drawings published here for the first time. It also features new scholarship from Hou Hanru and Stephen Greenblatt who trace the development of this new body of work as well as Gormley's 30-year engagement with China and the surrounding region in significant works such as Asian Field (2003), Event Horizon (2007) and Host (2016). A photo essay by the artist also tracks his ongoing dialogue with the region through a series of never-before-seen archival photographs of his first research trip to China in 1995 which took him from the Forbidden City in Beijing to the Terracotta Army in Xi'an.
