Antony Gormley - LAND

More about the book

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Landmark Trust commissioned an installation from Antony Gormley. LAND was the result: this book records its places and explores their meanings. Author Jeanette Winterson and photographer Clare Richardson travelled to five Landmark sites in remote parts of the British Isles: Saddell Bay, Mull of Kintyre; South West Point, Lundy; Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge Bay; Martello Tower, Aldeburgh and Lengthsman's Cottage, Lowsonford to see Gormley's life-size cast iron sculptures. Winterson has written a meditation in response to the works and landscapes she has encountered. This celebratory text is accompanied by Richardson's photographs of the varied seascapes and waterways - and weather conditions - that the sculptures inhabit.
