Catalogue Note

"Sculpture, for Cragg, represents an active way of interrogating the world and a catalyst for heightening our sensitivity to it. It is, for him, needed not only to visualise, shape and demonstrate complicated ideas, but also to explore the material world and uncover its possibilities" (John Wood cited in: Exh. Cat., Berlin, Stiftung Akademie der Kunst, Tony Cragg: In and Out of Material, 2007, pp. 14-15).
