Set within a shaded garden environment, the works invited visitors to move through the space slowly, creating a moment of calm and reflection within the energy of the fair.
At White Desert’s Echo Camp in Antarctica, Anthony James realized one of the most ambitious moments of his career—installing a monumental sculpture in one of the most remote and extreme environments on earth. James has described the landscape as “like being on a different planet,” where the scale and stillness of Antarctica heighten the conceptual core of his work.
Installed within Echo Camp’s hub—an architectural environment inspired by space exploration—the piece anchors a dialogue between art, science, and the cosmos.
James continues to expand the boundaries of contemporary sculpture with installations now spanning all seven continents.
At the Bassam Freiha Art Foundation on Saadiyat Island, Anthony James presents a series of monumental sculptures that embody his signature exploration of light, geometry, and infinite space.

The foundation itself is dedicated to showcasing works from across regions and disciplines, creating a platform for both established and emerging voices.
Presented within the foundation’s striking, minimalist architecture—set against water and defined by clean lines and light-filled spaces—the works resonate with a heightened sense of clarity and precision.
In this setting, James’ work continues to expand its global presence, offering audiences a powerful encounter with sculpture that is at once technologically advanced and deeply introspective.
In collaboration with W1 Curates, Anthony James transformed London’s Oxford Street into a large-scale public artwork, bringing his exploration of light, geometry, and infinity into the urban landscape.
Projected across the façade of a multi-story building, the installation translated James’ iconic illuminated sculptures into a digital format—spanning 36 high-resolution screens and enveloping the architecture in a continuous field of light. The result was an immersive, city-wide experience that reimagined how contemporary sculpture can exist beyond traditional gallery spaces.
Accessible to the public at street level, the installation offered a moment of visual immersion within one of London’s busiest commercial corridors.
At the amfAR Gala in Cannes, Anthony James donated a monumental 80-inch Icosahedron, also featured in Knives Out, to support global AIDS research. Constructed from stainless steel, glass, and LED light, the work reflects his exploration of infinity and cinematic presence.
At The St. Regis Aspen Resort, Anthony James’ Icosahedron is presented within a luxury alpine setting. Its mirrored surfaces reflect the surrounding landscape while its infinite interior creates depth, forming a dialogue between precise geometric form and the natural beauty of Aspen.
