Tony Cragg
Sculptures and Drawings

2 MAY until 21 JUN 2025
Opening – 2 MAY 2025, 6-9 pm

The Buchmann Galerie is delighted to present an exhibition by Tony Cragg as part of Gallery Weekend Berlin 2025, in which over 250 drawings by the English sculptor will be contrasted with sculptures from his Industrial Nature series.

The exhibition will explore 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 works 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, the Japan Art Foundation Award, and an honorary knighthood from the British monarchy. He is a Royal Academician in the UK, elected to that position for his contributions to art.

The Buchmann Gallery has represented Tony Cragg since 1983; this is the gallery’s 28th solo exhibition with the artist. The Buchmann Gallery also represents Tony Cragg’s drawing archive.
