Tony Cragg

This volume is a tribute to sculpture, that magnificent obsession that has accompanied Tony Cragg (Liverpool, 1949) since his beginnings.

Arranged according to stylistic and formal criteria, the works reveal a coherence and organicity intrinsic to Cragg's entire oeuvre, showing an expressive language meticulously constructed over the years based on the idea that the creative process is also a path of discovery. The artist always proceeds in the same way - from drawing to choosing materials, experimenting with technique, selecting colour - working with the material and learning from it and its reactions. In this way, the work only unfolds step by step in its making, revealing the infinite possibilities of form.

Published on the occasion of exhibition in Rome, the monograph is conceived as a tool to present not only the works, but also the creative process of the artist who has contributed to a renewal of plastic language thanks to the introduction of new materials and new techniques, among the most experimental and innovative of our time.
