About Anthony McCall
McCall was born in the UK and lives and works in Manhattan. He is known for his "solid-light works," a series he began in 1973 with Line Describing a Cone, in which a volumetric form composed of projected light slowly evolves in three-dimensional space. Occupying a space between sculpture, cinema, and drawing, the historical importance of McCall's work has been recognized in such exhibitions as Into the Light: the Projected Image in American Art 1964–77, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2001–2); The Expanded Screen: Actions and Installations of the Sixties and Seventies, Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna (2003–4); The Expanded Eye, Kunsthaus Zurich (2006); Beyond Cinema: the Art of Projection, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2006–7); The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality and the Projected Image, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington DC (2008); and On Line, Museum of Modern Art, New York (2010–11). McCall’s work has also been shown at many museums, including Centre Pompidou, Tate Britain, and SFMoMA, among others.
This program is presented through the generosity of the Terry F. Green 1969 Fund for British Art and Culture.
