THE ANGEL OF THE NORTH

Antony Mark David Gormley OBE (born 30 August 1950) is an English sculptor. His best known works include the Angel of the North, a public sculpture in Gateshead and Another Place on Crosby Beach near Liverpool. Born the youngest of seven children, Gormley grew up in a well off family in Hampstead. Gormley studied at Ampleforth College. Almost all of his work takes the human body as its subject, with his own body used in many works as the basis for metal casts. Gormley describes his work as "an attempt to materialise the place at the other side of appearance where we all live."
