"Material is everything"

By: Bettina Pfleging
In search of forms and suitable materials, the experimental British artist Tony Cragg tries out a lot. His sculptures consist of materials such as bronze, gypsum, glass, wood, jesmonite and enter the room with their bizarre-abstract forms. They do not depict the world we live in. They are rather attempts to explain the forms and realities of this world.
20 mostly survival-sized sculptures from the period 1993 to 2015 as well as finds from Tony Cragg’s collection of fossils and minerals can be considered from all sides in the exhibition.
