KMSKA Presents Antony Gormley Exhibition with Domain Sculptures in Antwerp
On June 15, 2026, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA) presents an exhibition of works by Antony Gormley curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. The show includes three Domain sculptures installed overlooking the River Scheldt, alongside early works from the artist's student days at the Slade School of Art. It features pieces such as Flat Tree from 1978 and Exercise Between Blood and Earth from 1979/2026 that explore materiality and the artist's relationship to the natural world.
The Signal
The exhibition highlights Gormley's evolution from using natural materials to body casts in lead and iron, signaling his longstanding engagement with ecology and human presence in the environment. For collectors, it underscores the continuity in Gormley's practice from early experiments to large-scale public installations, potentially increasing interest in his early works. Curator Christov-Bakargiev's focus on Arte Povera connections may position the show as a key reference for understanding Gormley's material investigations.
