Description

Steel pipes, beams, disks, and agricultural tools make up Caro's latest abstract sculptures, which reveal fresh aspects from every viewpoint. The works evolved out of the planning process for an enormous public sculpture he envisioned for a busy thoroughfare in New York City, and as such are prompted by a sense of ground-parallel speed. The long, low pipes of Clouds, for example, create a latitudinal setting for smaller, curved parts that evoke lighter forms moving through space. Solitude is composed of curved and crumpled steel sheets that seem to float around an upright, cannon-like component. Art historian Michael Fried describes the Park Avenue sculptures as 'conspicuously open', an apt characterization given the exciting dynamism they achieve with few parts. 0Exhibition: Gagosian Gallery, New York, USA (06.06.-23.08.2013).
