Pairing one of the worlds greatest sculptors with one of todays greatest writers on art, Shaping the World tells the story of human culture from prehistory to the present through the medium of sculpture.Practiced by every culture throughout the history of the world, sculpture is a universal art form thats deeply rooted in the human psyche and may even predate the advent of language. In this wideranging book, internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley and distinguished art critic Martin Gayford consider sculpture as an art form related to humanitys potential for thought and feeling, as well as to our urge to build, make pictures, practice religion, and develop philosophical thought. They take into account materials and techniques and consider overarching themes, such as space, light, and darkness.Drawing on examples from around the globeranging from the standing stones at Stenness, Orkney, dating from around 3100 BCE, and the Terracotta Army in China to Robert Smithsons Spiral Jetty and Richard Serras steel structuresShaping the World explores sculpture as a form of physical thought capable of altering the way people feel. 300 color illustrations
