He is a Royal Academician and is especially associated with prominent public and site-based projects. These include Angel of the North in Gateshead, Another Place on Crosby Beach and the multipart installation Event Horizon, which has appeared in several international cities. His documented practice extends beyond monumental sculpture to drawings, prints, editions, paintings and other mixed-media work. That breadth helps explain why collectors may encounter his name across several auction departments rather than only in large-scale sculpture sales. Museum and library authority records consistently identify Gormley and his 1950 birth year, while bibliographic records document publications devoted to his sculpture and drawings. The collected institutional excerpts do not assign him to a single formal movement, so this profile emphasizes his documented media, professional identity and recognized public projects. ## Common works and media Auction and appraisal records may include sculpture, mixed-media objects, drawings and other works on paper, prints, editions and paintings. Institutional records also identify Gormley as a medallist. Appraisal research should distinguish unique works from editioned objects and should record the medium, dimensions, date, signature or inscriptions, edition details, condition and provenance before selecting comparable sales. ## Market and appraisal context Antony Gormley auction results should be compared at the level of the individual object rather than against a single artist-wide figure. Medium, scale, date, condition and surface quality can all distinguish one work from another. For editioned pieces, the edition size, number, signature and inscriptions should be checked. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references and attribution confidence may also affect how a lot is assessed. Useful comparables are recent public sales of works matching the object’s type, dimensions, period and condition. Auction records remain incomplete because private transactions may not be visible, and published totals can treat buyer’s premiums or fees differently. A physical inspection and documented authorship remain important before reaching an appraisal conclusion. ## Appraisily data basis Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices and comparable lots when those records are available. Public sales are evidence for comparison, not a substitute for object-specific examination, attribution and condition assessment. ## Sources - Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q360371 - Getty Vocabulary Program: https://vocab.getty.edu/page/ulan/500008600 - VIAF: https://viaf.org/viaf/95733525/ - The Museum of Modern Art: https://www.moma.org/artists/63578 - Tate: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/sir-antony-gormley-obe-ra-1192 - British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG29389 - IdRef: https://www.idref.fr/032326912 - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Gormley - Appraisily: https://appraisily.com/artist/antony-gormley/
