GALERIE TEMPLON BRUSSELS SHOWS LATE SCULPTURES BY SIR ANTHONY CARO

Galerie Templon will be presenting an original collection of indoor sculptures by Sir Anthony Caro in Brussels from June 1 to July 22, echoing the exhibition of his works in the gardens of the Musée Van Buuren.

The exhibition entitled, “Anthony Caro Table pieces and late sculptures”, will display two contrasting series by Caro, illustrating the diversity of his output and his incredible gift for self-reinvention. 

Anthony Caro’s final works monumental compositions that experiment extensively with Perspex, a transparent plastic will be juxtaposed with his small Table Pieces, displayed in the gallery's project room.

Playing with concepts of dynamic balance, Caro’s Table Pieces bear witness to his ability to transform empty space into a material and a means of expression. His Last Sculptures give viewers an opportunity to reflect on the diversity of materials Caro employed wood, steel, bronze, Perspex as well as his outstanding use of paint and colour. These works speak eloquently of an artist seeking a new definition of sculpture.

Born in 1924 and knighted by the Queen of England in 1987, Sir Anthony Caro reinvigorated contemporary sculpture. A pupil of Henry Moore, he never stopped exploring dialogues between the arts, from his single-minded quest for the abstract until his evolution towards more narrative forms.
