On October 16, the exhibition “Critical Mass” by Antony Gormley opened in Paris. The Musée Rodin, which displays the work of the great sculptor Auguste Rodin, is one of the city’s most important museums.
Key works by Gormley are placed in a dialog with works by Rodin. In his work created over the last 40 years, Antony Gormley examines — through a critical examination of his own body — the relationship of the human body to space and, in particular, the relationship of the body to the built environment.
This exhibition is one of the rare invitations to an artist to relate his works to those of the great artist Rodin. It underlines the great importance of the artist Antony Gormley.
The exhibition is open until March 3, 2024. It will reach a large international audience.
