| Summary: |
A Turner Prize winning sculptor, Tony Cragg has a huge international reputation and has represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. He has lived and worked in Germany for 40 years. His early works used found objects and discarded materials, and he rose to fame with "Britain Seen from the North," an assemblage of scraps depicting the outline of the island of Great Britain oriented to the left. The piece is often interpreted as a commentary of the social and economic difficulties in the country under Thatcherism. In this program, we see Tony preparing for his largest exhibition to date at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. He talks about his start in art, his inspiration, and fascination with the shape and quality of materials. |
