Anthony Caro

Galvanised Sculptures

13 September - 26 October 2007

Annely Juda Fine Art is delighted to present the first exhibition of a series of new galvanised
sculptures by Sir Anthony Caro.

Caro is internationally renowned for his steel sculptures – sometimes on a large outdoor scale and
sometimes small, lyrical table top pieces. This exhibition will include four monumental galvanised
sculptures - and one ungalvanised steel/wood work - all of which were made from 2005 to 2007. The
largest, Jupiter, is almost four metres long and two and a half meters tall. The dialogue between
sculpture and architecture is a major interest of Caro’s and these new sculptures are the latest to
explore this area – often incorporating found steel objects: girders, mesh, tubes etc. These works are however the first in which Caro has galvanised the steel. The silver sheen of the zinc coating
compliments coloured elements which recall Caro’s painted sculptures from the 1960s and 1970s.

Despite being in his early 80s Caro’s energy is undiminished and the works in this show are
testimony to his incredible spirit and continual originality. It follows the success of his major
retrospective held at Tate Britain in 2005. The exhibition will take place over two floors at Annely Juda Fine Art including the recently expanded third floor gallery space. It has been organised in collaboration with Mitchell Innes and Nash Gallery in New York who will also be showing large galvanised sculptures in their new gallery space in Chelsea, New York from 19 October to 21 November 2007.

A hardback book will be published to coincide with the exhibitions which will include illustrations of
over 30 sculptures in the galvanised series with articles by Kosme de Barañano and Karen Wilkin.
