About this artwork
Before you stands a cast‑iron sculpture of Sir Antony Gormley, made in 2013. The metal takes the shape of his torso at rest, with arms folded in profile and eyes slightly turned forward. A matte surface catches light softly, revealing subtle details—muscle tone, ribs, and small ridges where skin once lay. Gormley’s work explores the point where self meets space; this cast is both a self‑portrait and an invitation to feel a universal human presence. It belongs to his “Another Place 100” series, a set of 100 works made between 1999 and 2008 that replicate a large installation on Crosby Beach.
