Anthony McCall

Anthony McCall (USA) is well known for his films from the seventies, and in particular his seminal piece “Line Describing a Cone” from 1973 in which a sculptural form composed of projected light slowly evolves in three-dimensional space. “Doubling Back”, first shown at the 2004 Whitney Biennial in New York, is one of a new series of projected, sculptural installations which include vertically-oriented pieces such as “Breath" and “Between You and I”. Recent solo exhibitions include Centre Pompidou / La Maison Rouge, Foundation Antoine de Galbert, Paris, France, 2004: “Anthony McCall: Films de Lumière Solide.” Gagosian Gallery, London, 2004; Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne, 2006; and Peer Gallery at the Round Chapel, London, 2006. McCall has been the subject of a recent monograph written by Branden W. Joseph and published by Steidl, “Anthony McCall: The Solid Light Films and Related Works”. McCall lives and works in New York.
