- The Angel of the North is as much a part of Gateshead's identity as the Statue of Liberty is to New York. Since it first spread its wings in February 1998, it has become one of the most talked about and recognisable pieces of public art ever produced.
It was in 1990 that the site, a former colliery pithead baths, was re-claimed and earmarked for a future sculpture. When sculptor Antony Gormley was selected as the winning artist in 1994, his designs originally caused uproar. The controversial material and site of the sculpture were frowned upon. However, once in place many people's original views on the piece changed completely. Local residents have fallen in love with the Angel and it has become synonymous with Gateshead.
Sculptor, Antony Gormley OBE, who was born in 1950, is at the forefront of a generation of celebrated British artists who emerged during the 1980s. He has exhibited work around the world and has major public works in the USA, Japan, Australia, Norway and Eire. Public work in Britain can be seen in locations as diverse as the crypt at Winchester Cathedral and Birmingham city centre. In 1994 he won the prestigious Turner Prize and in 1997 was awarded the OBE for services to sculpture. He has exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Gallery, British Museum and the Henry Moore Sculpture Gallery in Leeds.

I always go past this when im driving
I live down in bristol so have never seen it, is it worth the long journey?
How does this keep from blowing over in a storm?
the article tells you
@@robertkreher8871 - my video didn't come with an article.
Theres a bit of info about it next yo the statue irl. It shows you that it just has very deep foundations. The image it shows looks like its foundations go underground about as deep as the visible statue is high.
@@setokaiba. lol
It
Yikes, what an eyesore over a beautiful landscape. I hope the people that live around it like it though.
Iconic and beautiful in a hardh northern manner, better than a silly fairy tale angel, it reflects the steel works, the industries and the hardness of the true northern folk. perfectly.
A really great video, my compliment. We also visited the angel in the summer and were very enthusiastic about this monument. For my travel movie I would like to use a few scenes of this fantastic clip. Could I get permission from you? Thanks for your reply and all the best for the next shots from AlexonRoad
Yes of course you can
@@iainknowles that is very kind, thank you very much. I will be uploading my film, a motorcycle journey through the north of England, in the next few months here on YT and of course I will mention your channel as a source and inspiration. Thanks again
This is amazing!
Fine work
I'm from the United states, I'd never heard of this statue until I saw it on Geordie Shore LOL. Looks really cool though.

I respectfully request your permission. If there are any documents related to the use of copyrighted works, i will process them.

Sure
Feel free to use whatever pieces of this video that you like
@@iainknowles I truly appreciate your gracious acceptance of my difficult request. Your video will be a great inspiration to Korean students. I will continue to support your works. Have a great day.
Nice flight 🙂👍
WYE-EYE, MON !!!
Like the new work of art in Edinburgh known as the golden turd. This one is the Gateshead flasher
yeet
Creepy. Not really very Angelic at all.... there's an uncomfortable machine-like aspect to the squared off wings. Unholy.
Let us rejoice and see what is good thus to glorify.🕯️
Maybe creepy is the best word. Beware of angels in the tech/info age of our world
