Anthony Caro (sculptor)

Anthony Caro was a prominent British sculptor known for his innovative and abstract approach to sculpture. Active mainly in the mid-20th century, he moved away from traditional methods and materials, instead creating large-scale works using painted steel and other industrial materials. Caro's pieces are often characterized by their bold forms and vibrant colors, and they emphasize spatial relationships and viewer interaction. He is celebrated for transforming the perception of sculpture, making it more akin to painting in its freedom and abstraction. His influence can be seen in the rise of modern sculpture practices worldwide.
