About	Angel of the North is one of the iconic and highlighting landmarks in Gateshead, UK. Angel of the North has the largest sculpture in Britain built for the Gateshead Council by Antony Gormley. It is an inspiring and embracing reminder of the coal mining and shipbuilding heavy metal industry in the North of England. They created an ambitious artwork that would become a landmark of the region's character. The wind load strain on this statue means the reinforcements below ground are as deep as the statue is high. Angel of the North has become one of the most famous artworks in the region. The sculpture was completed in February 1998 and has become one of the most recognized public artworks ever created over the past twenty years, earning multiple accolades and awards. Antony Gormley's winning design is now one of the most viewed pieces of art in the world. It is seen by more than one person every second; that's 90,000 every day or 33 million every year.
