NOTES
Linear rods of steel in bright red rest on the ground, project into the air, and form a series of varied angles. Sir Anthony Caro developed a sculptural process of welding together found pieces of industrial metal such as I-beams and steel plates. By placing his abstract sculpture directly on the ground rather than on a pedestal, Caro invited viewers to engage with the surrounding space of the work and to approach it from any direction.
