Tony Cragg

Second Nature

2009

Description

In the striking forms and abundant innovation of his work, Tony Cragg is one of today's most significant artists. For thirty years he has been redefining the parameters of contemporary sculpture. The basis of his visual thought often derives from current scientific understanding, one reason why viewing his work is like entering a fantastical, poetic 'Wunderkammer,' in which art, nature and science give rise to a continually developing new species of sculpture. This volume brings together Cragg's most important works since 2000 and the drawings that enable him to reveal what sculpture conceals. Includes essays by Christa Lichtenstern, Kirsten Claudia Voigt and Jon Wood. Full colour illustrations throughout. Published on the occasion of the exhibition; Tony Cragg: Second Nature, February 14 - May 3, 2009.
