One of ten prints created by Antony Gormley during his 2007 stay in Copenhagen constitute the artist's first major print project in nearly 16 years.

This is the first time the artist has realized this sculptural idea in the graphic medium.

As one of the most renowned British artists working today, Antony Gormley (B. 1950) varies between works of dynamic abstraction to complex figurations, pushing the boundaries of experience, collective memory, and primal imagery. Often focusing on individual figures on a human scale, Gormley installs them within vast environments. At once sublime and primitive, the artist instills a Neo-Expressionist approach in both his figures and abstracted work. Gormley’s recent solo exhibitions include Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon,Portugal), the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead, England) and the National History Museum (Beijing, China), among others
