Tony Cragg's first overview in Denmark

Opening 5 November 2021 in the city of Herning, and 21 January 2022 in the HEART museum of Herning

Tony Cragg is one of the world’s foremost sculptors. Constantly pushing to find new relations between people and the material world, there is no limit to the materials he might use, as there are no limits to the ideas or forms he might conceive. Cragg has been known to merge contemporary industrial materials with the suggestion of the functional forms of mundane objects and ancient vessels—like jars, bottles, and test tubes—resulting in sublime, sinuous, and twisting forms. Cragg's concern is an examination of how forms function in and interact with space, whether physical or psychological. The interplay between positive and negative space becomes a key structuring principle in his works, heightening the viewer's awareness of their own relationship to space and the material world. The Heart Museum of Contemporary Art in Herning has invited Tony Cragg to select recent sculptures for the city's streets, and Chief Curator Tijs Visser will curate an overview of Cragg's earlier works.
