About this artwork
Since the early 1980s, the celebrated British-born sculptor Tony Cragg (born 1949) has demonstrated a virtuoso handling of a range of materials–marble, wood, glass, bronze and fiberglass–first exploring figurative and then abstract sculpture. To capture the receptacle forms of vessels and cells–understood as a metaphor for any biological organism–he used traditional materials such as cast iron, bronze, glass, ceramic, or stone. Cragg interest has been increasingly directed at converting one idea into numerous variations. For instance, in the Early Forms series, the inner and outer forms become ever more complex; in Rational Beings, the sculptural form becomes ever more volumetric and statuesque. In the end, Cragg’s sculptures can never be unambiguously classified; they appear as sensual, poetic creatures, mutable and paradoxic
About Tony Cragg
“The future of sculpture has only just begun. Its potential is greater now than ever before, and its possibilities are just starting. Its language and its forms are just beginning to evolve.” So says Tony Cragg, a believer not just in sculpture, but in freestanding, made-from-scratch abstraction. Cragg refuses to accept the domination of installation and the ready-made. His dedication to the form as he works in it–to its complexities, to its ability to interrogate the world and heighten our sensitivity–and his consistent espousal of that dedication, have given him an intriguing and unusual role in contemporary art. Cragg is a promoter of his medium in an age of anxiety about medium-based definitions, an age of crossover. Tony Cragg is living and working in Wuppertal, Germany.
