To mark Sir Anthony Caro's 80th birthday, Lund Humphries has published the first comprehensive book on the sculptor's life and career. It is written by Ian Barker, who has worked with Caro for many years, and was granted access to a profusion of previously unpublished correspondence with critics, including Clement Greenberg and Michael Fried, and fellow artists, as well as previously unseen images from Caro's personal album.

The book provides a fascinating insight into the life and sometimes trials of the UK's most celebrated living sculptor, seen through a wealth of archival and contemporary sources. Caro's own views on sculpture are traced through interviews and letters, while the critical reaction at the time is tracked through selected press cuttings, complemented by documentary images of the exhibitions, places and other art that influenced the work.

Includes 555 duotone illustrations, 220 x 245 mm, 360 pages, hardback.
ISBN 0-85331 910 3 £30.00/$60.00
Available in good bookshops and through Lund Humphries.
