Folding sculpture in cardboard, signed by the artist. // Leaf Pool by Anthony Caro, created between 1996 and 2000, is a unique folding sculpture in cardboard, exemplifying the artist’s exploration of form and spatial interaction. This assemblage consists of overlapping, irregularly shaped pieces in shades of cream, brown, and gray, arranged to create a layered, organic composition. The circular and leaf-like shapes suggest natural elements, with the layers adding depth and dimension, inviting viewers to explore the shifting interplay of color and form as they open and close the piece. Caro, known for his innovative approach to sculpture, utilizes simple materials here to create a dynamic, tactile experience, merging the boundaries between sculpture and book. Leaf Pool captures a sense of fluidity and balance, offering a quiet homage to natural forms through abstract geometry.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
