Beautiful large duotone photographs of the interior and exterior of Antony Gormley's ROOM, a giant crouching figure on the façade of London's new Beaumont Hotel, are published alongside a selection of 25 of the artist's 'dark drawings' (1980s to date) and an in-depth essay by Professor Margaret Iversen that considers ROOM in relation to Buddhist meditation, liminal states, caves and Brutalist architecture.
Describing ROOM, Gormley states, 'My ambition for this work is that it should confront the monumental with the most personal, intimate experience'.
