For his exhibition at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris, Gormley presents both large-scale sculptures and works that are comparatively lighter and less declarative of mass and presence. Published for this exhibition, \u003ci\u003eAntony Gormley: For the Time Being\u003c\/i\u003e examines recent works exploring this tension, such as the \u003ci\u003eConstruct\u003c\/i\u003e series, which range from a standing male figure with his hands at his sides and his head turned, to a cluster of vertical blocks that could be described as post-Constructivist, and recent public commissions such as \"Exposure\" (2010, executed for a site in the Netherlands) and \"Habitat\" (2010, erected in Anchorage, Alaska), which also demonstrate this tension of mass in space versus constellated nodes in space.","brand":"Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999720587415,"sku":"9782910055462","price":1885.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782910055462.webp?v=1783601530","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/antony-gormley-for-the-time-being-9782910055462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
