Dream City

author

Anthony Caro

description

Mediums: steel.
Location: The Yorkshire Sculpture Park (the UK).

The sculpture reflects Caro’s interest in architecture and his attempts to combine these two forms of art into a single composition. Unlike previous works, which demonstrate maximum openness and interaction with space, this sculpture is almost completely closed, concentrated more on its internal content than on its external form. From afar, it resembles an unusual structure, similar to a fabulous house, which can be reached through a narrow entrance from one side. Like other compositions of the author, intended for demonstration in the open air, the sculpture is installed directly on the ground, without any fencing.
