Anthony Caro, RA (British b. 1924)
Caro has been a key figure in contemporary British sculpture since he first came to the wider public's attention with a show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1963. His work has continued to move and expand in new and different directions since. Caro's questioning approach opened up new possibilities, both formally and with regard to subject matter. His innovative work as well as his teaching at St. Martin's (1953-1981) were hugely influential, and led to a new confidence in sculpture worldwide.
