It was an idea he had been nurturing for some time, and was waiting for the right moment. When I wrote to him in early 1991 to say that I thought the Trajan Markets was the most suitable place, he came to Rome to see for himself and was enthusiastic. 'My work', he said, 'has always been to explore, not to reach perfection. This place is a real challenge.' It was a repeat of the situation in 1972 in Florence when Henry Moore's classic modernity was set alongside the humanist landscapes of Giotto and Brunelleschi. Times have changed, and so has art. In 1992 the Trajan Markets, the daily market of ancient Rome, offered the setting for the severe, abstract, bare and un-compromising sculptures of Anthony Caro. 'Sculpture', he told us that day, 'has been very dull since Michelangelo and Bernini. We must give it new life and nourishment, we must give it a chance to signify some-thing new in our lives.'
