His favorite material is steel, but he experimented many other solutions such as bronze, wood, lead and paper. Caro became an emblem of the British Sculpture with his two-dimensional metal elements, an influence for all the next generations of young artists. His works, influenced by his teacher Henry Moore, are a revolutionary assemblage. Welded and bolted together, painted in bright colors, his works are astracts but rich of ideal content.

Many works are displaied in this show, among them the most famous are “Red Splash” (1966), “Cadence” (1968/1972), “Garland” (1970) and the latest “River Song” (2011 – 2012).
