A full-colour record of the 1992 exhibition of Sir Anthony Caro's sculptures held on the ancient site of Rome's Trajan Markets. Anthony Caro had long nurtured an ambition to exhibit his works in an archaeological setting in Rome. The Trajan Markets ? the daily markets of ancient Rome ? with their ancient brick walls and complex curved spaces dating from the second century AD, presented a challenging urban setting against which to juxtapose the severe, abstract forms of Caro's sculpture.
