""Antony Gormley’s definitive monograph by Martin Caiger-Smith, which was released in 2017, received much acclaim for its comprehensive overview of one of the most important sculptors of his generation. This spring, a new edition is being released in an expanded and updated format, plus a more accessible price point. Like the original, the tome spans the entirety of Gormley’s career, from his earliest sketches to his most famous installations. Best known for the major public works that most visibly represent his innovative approach to sculpture, Gormley is a prolific artist who has renegotiated the tension between the individual and the universal."" —GALERIE MAGAZINE
