Tony Cragg is widely regarded as one of the most significant sculptors of our time. Born in Liverpool in 1949, he has lived and worked in Wuppertal, Germany since the late 1970s. His international breakthrough came in the early 1980s, and in 1988 he was awarded the Turner Prize. Since then, his work has been exhibited extensively at leading museums and institutions worldwide, and in 2007 he received the prestigious Praemium Imperiale for Sculpture.
