Antony Gormley b. 1950 UNTITLED (QUANTUM CLOUD) signed on the reverse ballpoint pen on card 15 by 10cm.; 5.875by 4in. Antony Gormley's oeuvre takes as its central theme the human body; both its materiality and its attendant spirituality. The Quantum Cloud Series a concept that the artist developed towards the end of the 1990s represents a response to the sheer presence of his earlier works by combining a stylistic and technical move towards the spirituality that as a lifelong Buddhist was so dear to him. The sculptural works from this series represent the first time that Gormley had used assemblage in place of casting and as a result the once monolithic body assumes an ethereal and less permanent quality. As such this series can be seen as being particularly important to the development of his style as it re-defines his relationship with his own body and thus with his experience of life what he called Òthe subject of sculptureÓ. ÒMy body is the closest experience of matter that I will ever have and the only part of the material world that I live inside.Ó1 1Extracts from interview with Udo Kittelmann on Total Strangers Kolnischer Kunstverein 1999 Provenance RCA Secret London Acquired from the above by the present onwer in 1999
