The art works will appear across the UK on outdoor sites including bus shelters, underground stations, roadside billboards, motorway services, national rail networks, shopping centres and airports.
They will also be shown at a national on-screen exhibition on more than 1,000 Vue cinema screens in August.
Sculptor Sir Antony also unveiled a digital artwork, Feeling Material, which the public can download for free.
It was commissioned for Art Everywhere and will be shown on digital poster sites across the UK, including Waterloo station and Coventry House in Piccadilly Circus, as well as Manchester's Trafford Centre and on motion screens in the back of over 2,000 black cabs.
Sir Antony has also donated 100 signed limited edition works which will be given to the first 100 supporters who give £950 or more to Art Everywhere.
The money is to support the costs of print and production.
Both the digital and limited edition works will be available from 16th July until 31 August.
Sir Antony said: "Works in public collections form an important part of our collective visual memory, marking a particular place, time and person. It is great that these works are being celebrated and shared in this way."
Building on the success of the 2013 exhibition, this year's Art Everywhere will be longer in duration, having been extended across a six week period.
Stephen Deuchar, director of the Art Fund described Art Everywhere as "a celebration of great British art" and that Sir Antony's work created for the project would be a "wonderful legacy - and a way of thanking the art loving public, who made the whole initiative possible".
