Tony Cragg: Sculptures and Drawings

30 July – 6 November 2011

Tony Cragg’s first museum show in Britain for more than a decade, this exhibition features around 50 major sculptures, some of which are on a monumental scale and are sited in the gallery’s grounds. Born in Liverpool in 1949, Cragg studied art in London in the 1970s and moved to Germany in 1977. He has brought an investigative, intuitive approach to sculpture, using an extraordinary range of materials. He came to prominence in the late 1970s for his works composed of brightly coloured plastic objects, but since the mid-1980s has worked extensively in other materials such as bronze, glass, stainless steel and wood. Focusing mainly on Cragg’s work from the past 15 years, this exhibition offers the opportunity to see new work by one of the world’s greatest living sculptors.
