Antony Gormley in Fluorescent Yellow Room



This blurred phone photo makes it onto the blog for the pure comedy of our starstruck gazes! At the end of the show we raced into our Fluorescent Yellow Room to save a few momentos from the bulldozers, to discover Antony Gormley inside taking photos on his mobile and saying how much he liked the work. A truly surreal highlight of the whole brilliant experience..!

Both the Islington Gazette and the Islington Tribute featured pictures of Antony Gormley in Fluorescent Yellow Room.
