Anthony Caro, Java, 1976

natural rust, COR-TEN steel

Anthony Caro employs a broad vocabulary of forms including the figures, massive welded and painted places, and architecture/sculpture combinations. He works directly with his materials, without preliminary sketches or maquettes. Java, a structure of rusted steel plates and slabs projecting from an off-center juncture, is enriched by inset masses of congealed slag. Used in this way, the mill waste makes baroque contrast with the planar surfaces.
