 is published to mark Antony Gormley’s first exhibition at White Cube New York. Illustrating selected works on view, the publication foregrounds Gormley’s eponymous installation as well as his ‘Big Double Blockworks’ sculptures. Together, these works explore two recent developments in Gormley’s practice: physical proximity in mass and scale on the one hand and, on the other, the endeavour to catalyse space almost without mass.

Two visual essays contextualise these twin concerns, comprising a sequence of archive images that trace the progression of Gormley’s examination of mass, scale and space. These visual essays provide a chronology of the artist’s immersive installations and the evolution of his ‘Double Works’, offering the reader an expanded genealogy of sculpture from past to present. Designed by Kellenberger-White, this small format publication reflects the meticulous construction of the exhibition while chronicling related historical work. An essay by Rachel Corbett shares an associative reading of the exhibition, drawing affinities between Gormley, Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin in a meditation on intimacy, precarity and dependence.
