3D Design

Tony Cragg by Robert Kudielka (Contribution by); Christoph Brockhaus (Contribution by); Christian Schneegass (Contribution by); John Wood (Contribution by) "The future of sculpture has only just begun. Its potential is greater now than ever before, and its possibilities are just starting. Its language and its forms are just beginning to evolve." So says Tony Cragg, a believer not just in sculpture, but in freestanding, made-from-scratch abstraction. Cragg refuses to accept the domination of installation and the ready-made. His dedication to the form as he works in it--to its complexities, to its ability to interrogate the world and heighten our sensitivity--and his consistent espousal of that dedication, have given him an intriguing and unusual role in contemporary art. Cragg is a promoter of his medium in an age of anxiety about medium-based definitions, an age of crossover.

Tony Cragg by Tony Cragg (Artist); Marco Franciolli (Text by); Guido Comis (Text by) This catalogue accompanies a retrospective of Cragg's work at the Museo d'Arte of Lugano, and gathers together over 40 sculptures and assemblages--some monumental in scope--and more than 100 drawings and etchings that reveal the creative processes behind his better-known pieces. A full presentation of Cragg's career to date is provided here, from his early explorations of the metaphysics of the mundane in the late 1970s, to his more recent three-dimensional smears in space.

Tony Cragg by Tony Cragg (Artist); Jon Wood (Text by) This career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's 'Stack' works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of Minimalism. The artist has variously stacked, gathered, and layered ever since, deploying various acts of stratification, compilation, accrual, and accumulation in his work.
