Andy Goldsworthy was born in the town of Sale in Cheshire in the north of England. While still a young child, he moved with his family to a suburb on the outskirts of Leeds. His parents, F. Allin and Muriel Goldsworthy, were strict Methodists, instilling a hard work ethic into the artist from an early age. At age 13, he began spending his Goldsworthy's talk at the Museum was occasioned by a series of private commissions here. He's making work on a landscape owned by collector, patron, and CMA trustee Scott Mueller. As is his usual practice, when the commission was in the discussion phase, the artist looked at the landscape and came up with several ideas for it—seven, in fact. Goldsworthy's work was celebrated in a number of solo exhibitions, including an early traveling retrospective titled "Hand to Earth: Andy Goldsworthy: Sculpture: 1976-1990" (1990-91) that started at the Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds, England, and a major retrospective at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (2007-08) in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.He was the subject of two documentary films by Early life. Goldsworthy was born in Cheshire on 25 July 1956, the son of Muriel (née Stanger) and F. Allin Goldsworthy (1929-2001), a former professor of applied mathematics at the University of Leeds. He grew up on the Harrogate side of Leeds.From the age of 13, he worked on farms as a labourer. He has likened the repetitive quality of farm tasks to the routine of making sculpture: "A lot British artist Andy Goldsworthy's sculptures melt and decay. "It's not about art," he says. "It's just about life, and the need to understand that a lot of things in life do not last."
