Tony Cragg: [WG.147]

Gothenburg, 19 May - 21 June

Wetterling Gallery is delighted to invite you to the opening of our first solo exhibition with Tony Cragg, one of the most influential sculptors of our time.

Ambitious in both scale and scope, the exhibition brings together a significant selection of sculptures that highlight Cragg’s distinctive approach to form and material. Working primarily in bronze, steel, and other industrial media, Cragg creates fluid, dynamic structures that seem to evolve organically, balancing the abstract with references to the human body and the natural world. The works on view range from monumental pieces to more intimate forms, offering a comprehensive insight into his sculptural language.

Tony Cragg (b. 1949, Liverpool, UK) lives and works in Wuppertal, Germany. He rose to prominence in the 1980s and has since established an international reputation, representing Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1988. His work has been the subject of major exhibitions at institutions including Tate, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. Cragg was awarded the Turner Prize in 1988 and was knighted in 2016 for his services to the visual arts.
