Caro encountered modernism, when he was working as an assistant to Henry Moore in the 1950s. Later on being introduced to American sculptor David Smith in the 1960s, he then abandoned his work he did earlier and started constructing sculptures by welding or bolting together pieces of steel, such as I-beams, steel plates and also meshes. When the piece is done, it is usually painted in bolted flat colour.
