Anthony Cragg, 1949

Anthony Cragg made a name for himself in the late 1970s with a series of minimalist and conceptual sculptures based on movement, where he also used his body. A leading name in British sculpture since the 1980s, Cragg continued his studies of form in later works by arranging found objects in three dimensions. His sculptures, which can be grouped under several different categories based on their form, document his expert use of materials. While applying different methods to transform organic or industrial materials into sculptures, he emphasizes the importance of artisanship during production and underlines the uniqueness of each work.

Through his works, Cragg challenges the nature of the materials he works with. The form of the sculptures inspires from the nature itself.
