Lot description
Lithograph drawn by hand and printed in black from one stone. Full sheet, printed on 250gsm Velin d'Arches paper.

With expressive, gestural forms, 'Clearing I' is an exquisite example of Antony Gormley's abstracted works. Executed from 28 May - 01 June 2007, it is one of ten prints created by the artist during his stay in Copenhagen. From an edition of 40, printed by the artist this is a framed work measuring 29 1/2 x 42 1/2 inches, under plexiglass.

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
