Artists

Anthony McCall is a British-born, New York City-based contemporary artist perhaps best known for his "solid-light" installations, a series he began in 1973 with his seminal Line Describing a Cone. Occupying a space between sculpture, cinema, and drawing, his work's historical importance has been internationally recognized in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, Museum Moderner Kunst, Kunsthaus Zürich, Hamburger Bahnhof, Hirshhorn Museum, and MoMA, among many others. His work is represented in numerous collections around the world. McCall is currently working on an Arts Council England sculpture commission, which is part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, to realize his Column in northwest England-a spinning column of cloud that rises vertically from the surface of the water into the sky.
