Abstract

The third and final article in a series dedicated to the memory of the outstanding British sculptor Anthony Caro (1924–2013). The article examines the period of Caro’s work from early 1980s to early 2010s. At this time his attitude to plastic form is undergoing significant changes as compared to the 1960–1970s, when he was perceived as one of the leaders of abstract sculpture. His major later works — large-scale installations that use all kinds of materials, including metal, wood and stone. The publication analyzes the most significant works of Caro executed since the 1980s, and discusses the general trends in the art of this period. Final conclusions related to the definition of creativity originality of Caro, clarifying his outstanding role in the history of modern sculpture and contemporary art.
