Biography

Anthony McCall (born 1946) is a British-born New York based artist known for his 鈥榮olid-light鈥 installations, a series that he began in 1973 with "Line Describing a Cone," in which a volumetric form composed of projected light slowly evolves in three-dimensional space.

Occupying a space between cinema, sculpture, and drawing, his work's historical importance has been recognised in such exhibitions as "Into the Light: the Projected Image in American Art 1964鈥77,鈥 Whitney Museum of American Art (2001鈥02); "The Expanded Screen: Actions and Installations of the Sixties and Seventies,鈥 Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna (2003鈥04); "The Expanded Eye," Kunsthaus Zurich (2006); "Beyond Cinema: the Art of Projection,鈥 Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2006鈥07); "The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality and the Projected Image,鈥 Hirshhorn Museum, Washington DC (2008); and "On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century,鈥 Museum of Modern Art (2010鈥11) and 鈥淪olid Light鈥, 黑料社, London (2024-25).
