Tony Cragg. In Celebration of Sculpture

Description

One of the most versatile sculptors working today is Tony Cragg. Shaping forms in plastic, glass, stone, wood, steel, fiberglass, and found objects, he has been making magic come alive in hard materials since having emerged in the mid-'70s. His vocabulary is wide and his ideas explode across a broad creative landscape, destabilizing our normal viewing habits, while widening our perspective and attitudes. In Celebration of Sculpture is cinema verité at its most powerful. Cragg reveals himself while shown installing exhibitions of his work internationally and restlessly moving around in his Wuppertal studio. Filmed in New York, California, London, Eindhoven, and Düsseldorf, one senses the peripatetic nature of a restless creator. The sculptor's workplace is where he prefers to be.
