Tony Cragg's New Sculptures at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris
Tony Cragg, the British sculptor born in Liverpool in 1949, presents twenty-five new works in steel, bronze, wood, stone, and fiberglass at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris until June 30. The artist, who describes himself as a 'materialist,' explores the internal structure of matter and its surface qualities. In a video produced by the gallery, Cragg states he is inspired by the experience of being alive and the world around him. The exhibition coincides with a recently closed show of drawings and sculptures at the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and a retrospective at the Von-der-Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, on view until August 14.
