Description

Sir Tony Cragg CBE RA
British b.1949 - 

Hollow Columns, 2006; 

bronze on steel base, unique, from a series of 7 different versions, incised with artist’s signature and stamped with foundry mark 'Schmäke Düsseldorf' on base, H109 x W55 x D40.2 cm including base (taller figure H107 cm and smaller figure H103 cm) (ARR) 

Note:
Cragg has always been interested in the idea of creating new forms, over representing terrestrial objects. In the present lot, the sculpture appears in motion, flowing through space despite its physical heaviness of bronze. His practice is guided by the 'intelligence of materials', whereby the material has intrinsic prosperities that guide the sculptural process of the artist.
He has created a new visual language that has cemented him as one the most influential sculptors of his generation.

In 1988, he won both the Turner Prize and was selected to represent the UK at the Venice Biennale. Through various teaching positions as Professor at Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts, Paris, France (1999-2009) and Professor at Kunstakademie, Dusseldorf, Germany (2009-2013) he has influenced future artists.
His works are in major collections including the Tate London, MoMA, New York, the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
In 2008 he opened Waldfrieden Sculpture Park in Germany, a permanent space for exhibition and his own practice.
