Angel of the North
The Angel of the North is a contemporary
sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley,
located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear,
England.
Source text: Wikipedia
Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of
an angel, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings
measuring 54 metres. The wings are angled
3.5 degrees forward to create, according to
Gormley, "a sense of embrace". The angel,
like much of Gormley's other work, is based
on a cast of his own body.
