Angel of the North
Ý
ÝÝÝÝ What to make of Antony Gormley's Angel of the North?
Touted as "the largest angel sculpture in the world," it was erected Feb.
15 on a hillock next to a highway outside Gateshead (where the huge Baltic
Flour Mills art center is to be built) in the northeast of England. At
the work's inauguration for the press and local dignitaries, who were lashed
by gale-force wind and hail, Lord Gowrie, departing chairman of the Arts
Council of England declared the work "a piece of public art unique in the
history of this country . . .Ý to be compared to the Eiffel Tower." It
is telling that he compared it to a structure famed as a piece of engineering
rather than a work of art. Its statistics are more impressive than the
object itself-65 feet high with a 175-foot wingspan "as big as a jumbo
jet." The work's price tag was $1.28 million.
ÝÝÝÝ The colossal rust-colored thing just looms there,
imposing but deadly dull, its steel-ribbed, featureless body saddled with
curious plank-like appendages of its awkward "wings." The canny people
of Gateshead, originally skeptical, especially about the cost, seem to
have taken it to their hearts, and await a lucrative influx of an estimated
150,000 Angel viewers each year.
