Sculptures and Drawings

Buchmann Galerie is delighted to present a solo exhibition of Tony Cragg‘s work during Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025. The exhibition focuses on sculptures from the Industrial Nature series, which is placed in compelling dialogue with over 250 of the artist‘s drawings, offering a comprehensive insight into Cragg‘s creative process and artistic development. The exhibition explores Tony Cragg‘s ongoing interest in the nexus between industrial materials and organic forms, demonstrating an intrinsic and multifaceted dialogue between the natural and the man-made. The layered, curvilinear forms of the sculptures evoke the dynamism and movement observed in nature, while embodying a distinctly mechanical aesthetic. The surfaces, sometimes smooth and polished, sometimes weathered and textured, emphasise the interplay between organic impermanence and industrial permanence. A celebrated sculptor with an international profile, Tony Cragg has received a substantial number of accolades, including the Turner Prize, the Praemium Imperiale for Sculpture. In 2016 he was made a Knight Bachelor of the British Empire. Recent solo exhibitions of Tony Cragg include Museo Nazionale Romano, Rome, Italy; Museum Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, Germany; Castle Howard, UK; Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea (MNAC), Lisbon, Portugal; Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany. Buchmann Galerie has represented the artist since 1983. The Buchmann Gallery also represents Tony Cragg’s drawing archive.
