Promenade, 1996

Anthony Caro

The five elements of Promenade make up a single work. Designed for the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, the sculpture was first seen in the UK in Holland Park in 1998. Its grey planes, folds and hollows made perfect hiding places for children, while more subtle pleasures were to be enjoyed by the viewer who was open to the rhythmical interplay of curve against flat; line against plane. The scale of the work also set up a spatial conversation with the place it occupied: the trees surrounding the piece on three sides in London closing in more tightly and with greater intimacy than the landscape of Yorkshire where the sculpture has since been exhibited. Sculpture and site - each is affected by the other.
