theEYE: Tony Cragg, 2006 DVD n a distinguished career since
the mid-1970s, Tony Cragg
has produced a strikingly
diverse range of sculptures in
the widest variety of materials.
His prolific output embraces
organic and industrial creations,
abstract and near-figurative
images, delicate, powerful,
immediate and yet elusive
forms. The sculptor, he says,
"looks for all the forms that
don't exist."
Filmed in the UK and
Germany, where Tony Cragg
has lived since the early 1980s,
this profile features works
produced over the past
twenty-five years for both
gallery and public contexts. In
interview, Cragg discusses his
working methods, his
fascination with different
materials and his fundamental
commitment to sculpture as an
artform. He speaks of his
passion for the significance of
sculpture, for its oddities, its
quirkiness and its potential
discoveries in today's
overwhelmingly utilitarian
world.
