Since the 1950s, Caro's work has been shown museums and galleries worldwide.[1]

His first solo exhibition was at the Galleria del Naviglio in Milan in 1956,[1] and his first solo show in London was at the Gimpel Fils Gallery the next year.[1][2] Another solo show was at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1963.[1] In 1967 Caro began exhibiting regularly with Kasmin in London, and in 1969, he began showing with André Emmerich in New York.[3] In the same year he showed at the São Paulo Biennale with John Hoyland.[4] In 2004, to honour his 80th birthday, Tate Britain and other galleries held exhibitions of his work.[citation needed]

Caro's museum exhibitions include "Anthony Caro: A Retrospective" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1975, travelled to Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston); "Anthony Caro", Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (1995); "Anthony Caro", Tate Britain, London (2005); three museums in Pas-de-Calais, France (2008), to accompany the opening of his Chapel of Light at Bourbourg; and "Anthony Caro on the Roof", Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2011).[5] In 2012 the Yale Center for British Art presented "Caro: Close Up".[6]

From 1 June to 27 October 2013 in connection with the 55th Venice Biennale, he exhibited at the Museo Correr, Venice, Italy.[7] The exhibit was on at the time of his death.

Caro was knighted in 1987 and received the Order of Merit in May 2000.[8] He was awarded many prizes, including the Praemium Imperiale for Sculpture in Tokyo in 1992 and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Sculpture in 1997.[9]

Personal life

In 1949, Caro married the painter Sheila Girling (1924-2015) and they had two sons together, Timothy (born 1951) and Paul (born 1958).[10]
