【題目】The Angel of the North
The Angel of the North is a modern sculpture (雕塑) in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England, designed by Antony Gormley. Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres tall,with wings measuring 54 metres
across. The angel, like much of Gormley’s other work, is based on the shape of his own body.
According to the artist himself, the Angel of the North symbolises (象征著) the change from the industrial to the information age and stands proudly as a beacon (燈塔) of hope for the future of the region.
It cost 800,000 to make, with the money coming from the British government. It took four years to make the sculpture. It was made in three parts, the body, which weighed 100 tons, and two wings, which weighed 50 tons each. Angels are usually thought of being white, as they represent light, but Gormley’s Angel of the North is a reddish brown colour. This is because the steel has a special paint to protect it from strong wind.
The parts of the angel were moved from Hartlepool to Gateshead at night in big trucks. It took 5 hours to move everything, even though the journey is very short. The Angel of the North was put on the hill in Birtley on the 15th of February, 1998.
The sculpture was made in memory of the coal miners who worked hard in the dark earth below the hill to bring wealth to the North East in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is a sign for Gateshead.
The sculpture has since become one of the most famous landmarks in England as can be seen in television and film. It is the largest sculpture in Britain. Over 150,000 people come to Gateshead to see the sculpture every year.
