Tony Cragg - Early Works

14th October 2011 - 18th March 2012

In the 1970’s  Tony Cragg began to work with materials, which had either been manufactured or processed by man. As objects ‘which complement the physical, intellectual and emotional life of mankind’, they can be associated with everyday purposes, that is to say they still convey their objective meaning despite the artist having disassociated them from their context. Nevertheless, as liberated forms they are suited to formulating new statements thus creating minimalistically exact fundamental structures, for instance if they are stacked or layered. The figurative murals and installations made of plastic flotsam and jetsam also deal with the relationship between people and things and continue to characterize contemporary consumption practices with the context of their imagery

Norbert Kricke (1922 - 1984) counts as one of the most outstanding European sculptors of the 20th century. After a classical training he began to create, as of 1950, abstract sculptures using minimal amounts of material resources. His sculptures, in which lines are used in ever new variations as a means of plastic composition, focus on speed and energy in a spatial context and enable a new experience of spatial transparency and infinity. The Skulpturenpark Waldfrieden is showing a selection of his works from several creative periods  in association with the ZERO Foundation.

Jean Tinguely

The artist Jean Tinguely was born in Switzerland in 1925 and became well-known through his kinetic scrap sculptures, which by means of some bizarre mechanism or other, move, or are driven, and are capable of producing sounds or even drawings. In the years between 1987 and 1990 Tinguely produced a series of works named after personalities who had inspired him in his youth such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Engels, Jakob Burckhardt, Henri Bergson, Piotr Kropotkin and Martin Heidegger. The Cragg Foundation is exhibiting two works from this ‘philosopher series’. The focal point of the exhibition is, however, the monumental sculpture  Derniére Collaboration avec Yves Klein, which the artist dedicated to his late friend and companion Yves Klein. The exhibition has been made possible through the kind support of the Museum Tinguely, Basel and the ZERO Foundation, Düsseldorf
