From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quill (1971), Rotterdam
Phillip King PRA (born 1 May 1934,[1] Tunis, French Tunisia) is a British sculptor. He is one of Anthony Caro's best known students, even though the two artists are near contemporaries. Their education followed similar trajectories and they both worked as assistants to Henry Moore. Following the "New Generation" show at the Whitechapel Gallery, both Caro and King were included in the seminal 1966 exhibit, "Primary Structures" at the Jewish Museum in New York representing the British influence on the "New Art". In 2011, his work was represented in the Royal Academy exhibition on Modern British Sculpture which explored British sculpture of the twentieth century.

Biography

While doing his national service before going to university in Cambridge (Christ's College), he spent much time in Paris where he met many artists. He studied modern languages as Christ's College, Cambridge from 1954–57, and sculpture at Saint Martin's School of Art from 1957–58 with Anthony Caro.[2] The next year he spent working as an assistant to Henry Moore and teaching at Saint Martin's.
In 1990 King was made Professor Emeritus of the Royal College and was the President of the Royal Academy of Art from 1999 to 2004, presumably declining the usual knighthood. In 1992 William Feaver wrote in London's Observer that King is "the one sculptor of his generation prepared to jettison what he has proved himself good at in order to explore what cannot be programmed." He took over at a time when the Academy was facing financial trouble and he has said it distracted him from his work.
King proved Feaver correct by turning unexpectedly to Japan and ceramics in 1993 and two years later making the powerful unglazed, vessel-themed works which were the focus of an exhibition in 2004. Richard Cork wrote about the sculptures:
Often pierced from one side to the other and interrupted by renegade protuberances, they end up conveying more emotional conflict than initially seems possible. But they possess optimism as well... That is why he is such a rewarding artist, and why each distinct phase in his ceaselessly resourceful career adds to the richness of his achievement.[citation needed]
The exhibition was presented in Yorkshire, London, and New York.
One sculpture titled Zen Garden, created by King and students from the Royal College of Art, remains available to see within Tout Quarry, Isle of Portland, Dorset, England.
In 2010, Phillip King was a recipient of the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.[3] He lives and works in London.

英國知名雕塑大師菲利浦·金(Philip King)駐台灣期間創作的作品將在倫敦展出。
為慶祝英國菲利浦·金80歲生日暨紀念其超過50年之創作生涯,Thomas Dane Gallery特別策劃了其倫敦個展暨大型戶外展。

此次將展出多件菲利浦金於2012年在台灣創作的作品,呈現其在駐台創作期間的創意與能量。
菲利浦·金2012年受邀到台灣,擔任駐廠藝術家,在台灣短短3個月的期間,創作了不少的精彩雕塑作品。

菲利浦·金在台灣創作了包括:「憩」(At Rest)、「鄧斯特布爾之舞」(Dunstable Reel)、「高空閃耀」(High Sky and Bling)、「環形之舞」(Ring Reel)以及「突擊」(Lash)等等。
這些作品將大眾印象中冷硬的鋼鐵,以藝術的巧思以及色彩的靈活運用,呈現鋼藝術中或活潑、或柔軟、或幾何的多元樣貌。
菲利浦·金是英國皇家藝術學院院士,1999年曾獲英國政府頒英國國家凋刻榮譽,2010年榮獲當代國際雕塑中心頒發的終身成就獎。
他的作品廣受世界各地美術館典藏,為英國當代重量級雕塑家,作品以極簡造型為主,後期作品則多用不同幾何造型組合,探討雕塑與公共環境之關係。
由於菲利浦·金在台灣的創作作品都是大型雕塑,因此將擺放在戶外展出,除在台期間創作作品之外,此次也將展出菲利浦金其它大型代表作品。
此次展覽分為室內展與戶外展,其中室內展部分從6月11日至7月26日於Thomas Dane Gallery展出。
大型戶外雕塑展部分將從6月25日起至7月25日展出一個月。
展出地點在位於倫敦市中心的Ranelagh Gardens。
