	Ends and means. (sculpture, Tony Cragg, Centre Pompidou,
		Cragg worked as a laborer in an iron foundry in 1970, but his artistic involvement with metal casting didn't begin until 1986, the year he completed a large outdoor commission in bronze, iron and granite for the Tate Gallery Liverpool.
		Cragg obviously likes this working technique for the way it yields biomorphic sculptures that are quickly made, physically strong and, because constructed of disks of known diameter and thickness, can be readily enlarged when necessary.

		Cragg, by contrast, was among those who translated this freedom into an infinite possibility for systems and material processes with which to conjure new and provocative objects
		Cragg could transform waste materials into valuable commodities through a Duchampian process of nomination but his project did not stop with the readymade - he performed transformations with materials and objects that provoke amusement and wonder.
		Cragg’s relation to Long is often taken to be ironic yet the nature/culture issue is fundamental to the work of both artists

		Tony Cragg / Haunch of Venison Zurich
		British artist Tony Cragg presents a body of drawings and watercolors alongside new sculptures in stone and bronze for his first exhibition at Haunch of Venison Zurich (March 16 - April 21, 2007).
		A selection of Cragg’s watercolours in which the human body is configured as a floating, twisting strand of chromosomes continues his preoccupation with uncovering the material world… Cragg’s sculptures possess a strong sense of movement as though energised by physical charges or currents.

		In this exhibition Tony Cragg presents 8 new works cast in bronze and stainless steel, as well as stone works made from red Turkish marble and diabas stone.

		Cragg himself has noted how the radical upheavals in art during the twentieth century expanded sculpture's vocabulary, freeing it from the limitations of traditional materials.
		By that time, Tony Cragg had already played a significant role in reconfiguring sculpture's ambitions, helping to expand its field of vision while retaining the integrity of his own concerns.
		One of Cragg's earliest expressions of this interest was a work of 1975 entitled Stack, in which he arranged the contents of his studio — an imbroglio of paper, wood, cardboard, fragments of metal, string and other unidentifiable detritus — into two relatively neatly stratified stacks.

	London/Tony Cragg/Whitechapel Art Gallery
		It is very tempting to interpret Tony Cragg's 1992 sculpture, 'Spyrogyra', as a riposte to Duchamp.
		Of course, Cragg is an heir of Duchamp when his material - the glass bottle - is readymade, but as is increasingly the case with this sculptor who emerged from the conceptualism and arte povera of the 1970s, the transmutation of materials is as crucial as their election or preservation.
		Cragg may have come out of arte povera, but his sculptural forms now have an aristocratic finesse.

		Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is pleased to announce an exhibition of drawings by sculptor Tony Cragg opening on September 15th till mid October.
		As an artist who is fascinated with the surface texture of a sculpture, this interest in the skin has appeard in earlier drawings as almost a kind of new layer or pattern superimposed onto the form itself.
		In the most recent works it is not the physical itself that is of interest to Cragg, but the myriad of things that are generated from this form, the invisible properties which he catches with his pencil on paper.

		Whether or not Cragg has used a computer, one wonders if there isn't a similar associative logic at work here: The evocative edginess of his sculptures, with their suddenly emerging profiles, hint as much.
		Cragg's sculpture is often regarded as the ne plus ultra of what was once called concrete abstraction.
		Is Cragg's work a species of abstract surrealism?) Finally, despite a preoccupation with the complexities of three-dimensional projection, Cragg also conveys a visionary experience of the body, a sense of the bizarre becoming of corporeal being.
