Field Notes:

Welded elements rest directly on the ground so that weight edge and gap define spatial rhythm

Defining Moment:

The early floor works at full scale where painted steel extends like drawn vectors establishing sculpture as an active field in architecture

1924–2013

Caro built a world where steel becomes open volume — planes lifted from the ground, forming linear constellations.

His sculptures clarify structure through weightless construction.

Structural Focus

Space as Drawing

Line, frame, or interval organizes space instead of filling it. Structure is articulated through placement rather than mass.

In Anthony Caro’s work, this approach appears where open steel structures organize space through placement rather than mass.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Proportion

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Structure

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Modernism

Form advances through rationality, progress, and structural clarity.

Postwar Minimalist Construction

Minimal form emphasizes construction, joints, and material fact.
