The Angel
$69.99
Photo Prints
8 x 12 Glossy photo print of the Angel of The North.
Angel of the North is a modern sculpture designed by Antony Gormley, which is located in Gateshead, England.
Since it first spread its wings in February 1998, it has become one of the most talked about pieces of public art ever produced.
As the name suggests, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, standing 66 feet (20 metres) tall, with wings measuring 178 feet (54 metres) across — making it wider than the Statue of Liberty's height. The wings themselves are not planar, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward, which Gormley has said aims to create "a sense of embrace".
The original maquette, a life-size model from which the sculpture was created, was sold at auction for £2m in July 2008
