Tony Cragg - In Celebration Of Sculpture by MVDfilm

TONY CRAGG BRITISH VISUAL ARTIST WHO WORKS MAINLY AS A SCULPTOR. HE WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE KUNSTAKADEMIE DÜSSELDORF UNTIL AUGUST 2013. HIS PRACTICE AS A SCULPTOR EMBRACED THE USE OF CHEAP 'EVERYDAY' MATERIALS THAT HE WAS USED TO HANDLING WHILST WORKING ON BUILDING SITES. (SOMETIMES HE WOULD COLLECT THESE MATERIALS RIDING SOLO AROUND LONDON ON A TANDEM BICYCLE). WALKING AND CYCLING WERE IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES FOR HIM, OFTEN IN THE COMPANY OF ARTIST FRIENDS SUCH AS RICHARD DEACON, RICHARD LONG, BILL WOODROW AND ROGER ACKLING. THE CRUCIAL QUESTION BECAME ONE OF FINDING A CONTENT. THE CRAGG FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO RESEARCH. WIKI. VIEW HISTORY
