This is the last week to see ‘Anthony Caro: Sculpture as Composition’ at MACA: Atchugarry Museum of Contemporary Art, Punta del Este, Uruguay!

The exhibition is in honor of the centenary of Anthony Caro's birth. This exhibition brings together sculptures and drawings from the 1950s to 2013 by one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century, illustrating Caro’s innovative approach and ability to redefine sculptural space.

On view until Tuesday 15 April @maca.fundacionpabloatchugarry

“Working in silver demanded that Caro once again expand his technical vocabulary in order to discover the materials inherent possibilities. He used the precious metal only a few times between 1974 and 1990, but each time the opulence and exuberance of his initial ‘Jubilee’ remained untarnished.” (H F Westley Smith, Anthony Caro: Small Sculptures, 2010)

Anthony Caro: Sculpture as Composition, curated by Kosme de Barañano, is open now at @maca.fundacionpabloatchugarry

📍MACA: Atchugarry Museum of Contemporary Art, Punta del Este, Uruguay

#anthonycaro #maca #caro #currentexhibition #retrospective #uruguay

At the Anthony Caro Centre we currently have a display of works on show, focussing on the radical development of Caro’s sculpture from the 1950s through to the late 1960s. This was a prolific period of making and experimentation, marked by a pivotal breakthrough in 1960 that saw Caro take sculpture off the plinth and begin constructing abstract works in found, brightly painted steel, and then in 1966 a new form of small scale sculpture, the table piece, informed by conversations with critic Michael Fried.

The exhibition includes rarely seen figurative early works in bronze, as well as some of Caro’s most renowned sculptures from the 1960s.

In 1959 Caro travelled to The United States of America on a trip funded by the Ford Foundation. During this career changing trip, he met the Colour Field painters Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Motherwell and Kenneth Noland, as well as the renowned abstract metal sculptor David Smith. In the following years Caro frequently returned to The United States, where he became close friends with many of the Colour Field painters, including Jules Olitski, with whom he taught at Bennington College, Vermont, from 1963-1965.

‘Caro is not a modeller of jewellery but rather a sculptor of pieces in gold’ Kosme de Barañano (2008)

Between 2005-2008 Caro worked with goldsmith Francisco Pacheco at Joyerias Grassy in Madrid to produce just under forty unique pieces of gold and silver jewellery.

These intimate, small scale sculptures underline Caro’s idea that all sculpture, in some way, has to do with the body.

In 1977 Tony took part in the Emma Lake Workshop, Canada. Due to the secluded forest
location of the workshop, decided to use lighter pieces of steel that could be
transported by hand to site. In Emma Push Frame (1977-78) he experimented with making
drawings in space out of the linear steel, making it float and extend in three dimensions.
Emma Push Frame and other seminal works can be seen at Museum Würth as part of
‘Sculptors and Spaces: Anthony Caro and Eduardo Chillida’ until 27 October 2024.

Span (1966) on the terrace of the Hayward Gallery in 1969 as part of Anthony Caro’s solo exhibition. Featuring more than 40 works situated across the gallery this was Caro’s first retrospective and also marked the first solo presentation of a living British sculptor there.

In a letter to art critic Michael Fried, Caro wrote about the inspiration behind the work: ‘I heard a Mozart piano quartet which started with a jumble of notes more or less and he goes on from there and gives it organisation - it made me think you could start from anywhere’ (1967).

Another gem from the archive... In 1982 Sheila and Tony set-up Triangle Art Network with philanthropist Robert Loder to connect abstract painters and sculptors across the world. The couple hosted Triangle Workshop in Pine Plains, New York from 1982-1988, and in 1987 took the workshop to Barcelona where Tony made a new body of work, the Barcelona series. Triangle continues to this day, supporting the work of brilliant artists.

Teaching and working alongside the next generation of artists was incredibly important to Tony and Sheila, because it enabled them to continue learning, experimenting and testing ideas.

Stave was one of the very last sculptures Anthony Caro made. Tony had fixed the steel pieces in place, but his studio assistant Neil Ayling welded them together after his death. Reflecting on the final work of Tony’s career, Alastair Sooke tenderly wrote that “the uplift of each steel element, representing a different note, has a soaring, musical quality...an appropriately lively, and poignant, sign-off for an artist who remained inquisitive to the end” (Anthony Caro, Annely Juda Fine Art, 2016).

Assistants Steven Scott (left) and Pat Cunningham (right) working on a ‘Scale Model’ of Child’s Tower Room (1983)

Here are Anthony Caro’s assistants Steven Scott and Pat Cunningham working on a prototype version of Child’s Tower Room in 1983. We especially like the wooden cut out of a woman that accompanied the making of the model, which helped the studio imagine the sculpture at its final architectural scale!

‘In 1983 the Arts Council of Great Britain asked four artists each to make a room. I decided to make a room for children in the form of a children’s tower. It is like a tree house. The model is six feet and three inches high made in softwood and later painted...This is not architecture but a sculptor’s foray into architecture. It’s a sculpture turned outside-in’ (Anthony Caro interviewed by the Young Women’s Hebrew Association, 1985).
