The artwork “Field,” created by Antony Gormley in 1989, is an installation piece associated with the Post-Minimalism art movement. As a genre, the artwork belongs to the broader installation category, emphasizing spatial arrangements and viewer interaction.
The artwork features an array of small, terracotta figures organized in a meticulously planned pattern, radiating outward from a central point. The figures are spaced at regular intervals, forming a visually compelling concentric arrangement that engages the viewer’s sense of scale and presence. Each figure, simplistic in form, collectively contributes to the powerful impact of the overall composition, inviting contemplation on themes of individuality and collectivity. The installation takes over the entire floor space, creating an immersive and encompassing experience for the observer.
