Antony Gormley has generously produced Web, 2023, a limited edition artwork to celebrate 30 years of Tate St Ives in Summer 2023. Gormley has played an important part in Tate St Ives history. In his exhibition entitled Some of the Facts, presented in 2001, the entire gallery space was dedicated to his four major sculptural installations. At the time, it was the largest exhibition of any one artist’s works shown at Tate St Ives.

Much like his sculptural work, Gormley’s limited edition, Web, 2023, investigates the relation of the body to space. The work’s title and the body’s pose suggest being suspended or caught, with the body as both the source of an expanded field and also its confluence. Here, embodiment is evoked as a process and the body is captured in a state of being.
