English sculptor Tony Cragg attended the Wimbledon School of Art and the Royal College of Art. He relocated to Wuppertal, Germany in 1977 and began teaching at Düsseldorf’s Kunstakademie in 1988. With fellow sculptors Bill Woodrow and Richard Deacon, Cragg became associated with the ‘New British Sculpture’ movement of the 1980’s. He won the Turner Prize in 1988. Casting in glass, bronze, aluminium and iron, Cragg’s ongoing interest in science and technology is combined with a commitment to sculptures as objects complete in themselves.
