Not On View

Tony Cragg’s formal vocabulary nods to classical sculptural forms such as the monolith. He combines this form—often a single great stone such as an obelisk or column—with a range of organic shapes and industrial materials and techniques. This type of work may suggest a distortion caused by compressing and resizing a digital file or, in contrast, the jagged growth of a tree.

Cragg is frequently exhibited and discussed in concert with his friend and former Royal College of Art classmate Richard Deacon, whose work is also in the collection. They are among the British sculptors who infused abstraction with new energy beginning in the 1980s.
