‘Drawings have immediacy. In a good session, drawing can be like going for a rugged, physical adventure on a blustery day with changing conditions of light and rain. A day passed without drawing is a day lost.’ Antony Gormley

‘Drawing: Antony Gormley’ traces the distinguished British artist’s exploration of drawing as a vital form of thought and feeling, offering an intimate and enlightening window into his artistic vision.

Punctuating over 400 works – many of which have never been seen or published before – are the artist's deeply personal insights into his process, including ruminations on drawing’s possibilities.

Accompanying Gormley’s writings are perceptive and occasionally moving texts by Jeanette Winterson, Margaret Iversen, Daisy Hildyard, W.J.T. Mitchell and Merlin Sheldrake, who offer a unique perspective on Gormley's work and the wider meaning of drawing as an act of exploration and transformation.

‘Drawing: Antony Gormley’ publishes 23 April 2026.
