- With his “Mental Landscapes” and “Mental Pictures,” the artist expresses the connection between individual thought processes as sculptural topography. - Spectacular from every angle: Fascinating openings allow the massive form to incorporate the surrounding space into the composition. - With its shiny and vibrant patina, the flowing form of two interwoven elements can be experienced in all its dynamic elegance. - As a particularly successful artistic fusion of form and material, “Mental Picture” opens up a multitude of associations. - Tony Cragg is considered one of the most important contemporary sculptors today. - Most recently, his works have been presented in highly acclaimed solo exhibitions at, among others, the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf (2024), the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (2023), and the Albertina in Vienna (2022).
