About the Book
Anders Gammelgaard Nielsen (* 25 September 1963 in Aarhus) is a Danish architect and sculptor.
His sculptural work reflects an evolution from the early modern sculpture with narrative references to a sculpture that rests within its own universe.
The early works are strongly influenced by the works of Henry Moore and Barbara Heptworth, whereas the later have a strong affinity to the works of Constantin Brancusi and Eduardo Chillida.
The developments in the sculptural works can be seen with a parallel to the architectural research in materials and tectonics. Thus, it is striking how this research work results in artefacts with a direct coherence to the later sculptural works. This is reflected through a self-referential system that is emerging between the substance, its technical processing and the resulting form expressions.
