Tony Cragg
London-born sculptor Tony Cragg won the 1988 Turner Prize but is less known in his homeland than contemporaries Gormley and Kapoor. Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art makes amends with his first British retrospective since 2000.
Intriguingly, Cragg has never had a major London exhibition, so
Glasgow's Tramway (1992), Tate Liverpool (2000) and now Edinburgh have
stolen a march on his birthplace. Following Paris' Louvre solo show in
spring 2011 it fills the whole of the gallery's ground floor with mainly
new work from the past ten years, in context with some of Cragg's
earlier sculptures.
A German resident, working in a huge studio
in Wuppertal (a former armaments factory), his art is fashioned from
various media (bronze, glass, plaster, wood, fibreglass and plastics)
and is informed by his background in science.
