The show highlights the diversity of work created by the award-winning British artist who uses materials like steel, clay, concrete and fiberglass to create sculptures that examine the relationship between the human body and space.<\/p>\n

But this exhibition is the first major museum survey of his work in the U.S. to date. <\/p>\n The venue is fitting. Gormley is 75 now, but early in his career, his supporters were primarily American collectors like Raymond and Patsy Nasher. <\/p>\n Antony Gormley, Three Places, 1983. Lead, fiberglass and air.

And this rise, it\u2019s like huge crystalline forms have grown up skywards, and it means something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Our landscape signifies what we value as a culture, and Gormley says in some ways we have given up public space to gather in the city in favor of privacy.<\/p>\n He hopes that when people scan the skyline and seek out his sculptures, it will prompt them to pause and think about their environment and take note of the things we see so frequently that we stop noticing them.<\/p>\n The map of Dallas Domains lists the locations of Antony Gormley’s sculptures installed on rooftops in the Dallas Arts District.<\/p>\n Courtesy Nasher Sculpture Center<\/p>\n Outside the museum, there are more sculptures, including the ones that dot the skyline surrounding the garden. <\/p>\n His sculptures on the rooftops aren\u2019t solid. You can see the sky between the stainless steel bars fanned out and welded together in a weblike pattern. The effect is almost silhouette-like, said Jed Morse, chief curator at the Nasher.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd it\u2019s just kind of a bare suggestion of a human figure. When seen close up, you see that very clearly. When seen at a distance, it kind of dissolves into pure light and energy,\u201d Morse said. <\/b><\/p>\n Antony Gormley, Domain CVI, 2025.

Installation view of SURVEY: Antony Gormley, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, Texas, September 13, 2025\u2013January 4, 2026.<\/p>\n Kevin Todora<\/p>\n All of these sculptures are roughly the same size. Seeing how the sculptures look in comparison to one another based on where they\u2019re installed serves as a lesson on depth perception. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fascinating to see these works both closer to our realm down on the ground like the one on top of the Nasher Sculpture Center,\u201d Morse said. \u201cAnd then also you can pick them out a little bit farther afield on buildings around us.\u201d<\/p>\n Jed Morse, chief curator at the Nasher Sculpture Center, speaks with guests at a preview for the exhibition “Survey: Antony Gormley.”<\/p>\n Marcheta Fornoff \/ KERA News<\/p>\n The rooftop sculptures can be kind of hard to spot if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re looking for. That\u2019s by design.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, it was important that this was more of a whisper than a shout,\u201d Gormley said. <\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to use the background of a clear blue … Texan sky as the kind of endless potential. An ever-extending cosmos as a background for thinking about presence and absence.\u201d<\/p>\n Models and workbooks by Antony Gormley, as installed in SURVEY: Antony Gormley, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, Texas, September 13, 2025\u2013January 4, 2026. \u00a9 Antony Gormley.<\/p>\n Kevin Todora<\/p>\n The artist spends a lot of time thinking about how humans shape the environment and how the environment shapes us, too. <\/p>\n For Gormley, art isn\u2019t confined to reflecting on the past. It\u2019s also an invitation to consider the future \u2014 one we have a part in shaping.<\/p>\n Details<\/p>\n![\"Antony](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LGTGM7DQFNFVLCA6KXBTMSCUNM.jpg\")
