Tony Crag


Sir Anthony Douglas Cragg, CBE, RA (born 9 April 1949) is a British sculptor. Tony Cragg's early work involved site-specific installations of found objects and discarded materials. From the mid-1970s through to the early 1980s he presented assemblages in primary structures (as in his first mature piece, the 1975 Stack) as well as in colourful, representational reliefs on the floors and walls of gallery spaces (as in Red Indian of 1982-3). Cragg constructed these early works by systematically arranging individual fragments of mixed materials, often according to their artificial colours and profiles, so as to form larger images.

Contemporary Art

Contemporary art or modern art is the art of today and is produced by artists living in this era of the twenty-first century. It is a reflection of society and issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary art is a dynamic combination of concepts that challenge traditional boundaries and is a part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.

Below is a gallery of some of the most famous sculptures from the artist:
