The fourth volume in the series documenting the sculpture of British artist Anthony Cragg (born 1949) covers his most recent sculptural oeuvre from 2001 to 2017, highlighting key bodies of work through an extensive selection of images. Guiding the reader chronologically through the genesis of Craggs most recent works and tracing the relationships between them, it also reveals the artists rigorous studio practice.
Since Cragg began working in the 1970s and came to fame in the 1980s as part of the New British Sculpture generation, his work has undergone a number of permutations while consistently remaining motivated by a fundamental concern with the qualities of his materialswhether they be found objects, raw materials or manufactured compounds like fiberglass.
Sculpture 20012017 follows Sculpture 19691985 and Sculpture 19862000. It includes essays by Demosthenes Davvetas, Patrick Elliott, Catherine Grenier and Jon Wood that shed new light on Craggs work.
