Anthony Cragg (*1949) is one of the most important international sculptors of the present day. The British artist, who lives in Wuppertal, was Rector of the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf until 2013 and has won many awards. From the beginning his creative work has found inspiration in Nature as a model. Cragg's large - format sculptures of metal, marble, wood and glass are derived from organic natural shapes and present a fascinating aesthetic. In the foreground is the material as the sculpture's strongest means of expressi on. In the time - consuming development processes during which the work is formed and the material and surface are treated, Cragg's sculptures literally "grow" into the space, so that they have an almost intrinsic character or with their convolutions and pro tuberances evoke endlessly growing structures. This volume documents new works as well as specimens from the sculptor's collection of fossils and minerals for the first time - a remarkable première

This career-spanning publication focuses on the history of Tony Cragg's 'Stack' works that began in the late 1960s, when, as a student, he began piling up miscellaneous and recycled detritus from the studio in order to create large rectilinear sculptures that refuted the usual clean lines of Minimalism. The artist has variously stacked, gathered and layered ever since, deploying various acts of stratification, compilation, accrual and accumulation in his work. The book contains a major essay by Dr. Jon Wood, entitled "Strata, structures, stories: Stacking in Cragg's sculpture" that spans over five decades of making and reveals what continues to set him apart from other sculptors of his time.

Internationally renowned British sculptor Tony Cragg (1949) is presented here through a selection of his latest sculptures as well as an overview of his graphic works, showing his artistic path and creative process from the initial idea to the final object. Tony Cragg has set his relations between the natural and the artificial. In his work, there is a momentum swinging towards the invisible and the visible. Spirituality fails to be overlapped by the medium of idealistic support. The materials this creator uses could be a path against himself from the outset. Each one of them recycles, transforms, collides and produces changes to adapt to later on, just like the planet's tectonic forces - in orders that coexist with its instability. The artist proclaims the function of the imagination beyond the mutilation of words, wishing to find a vocabulary for the emotions and effects that breaks ties with positivism and favours our way of grasping the universe.

Based on the Webby Award–winning Tumblr site, Things Organized Neatly is thoughtfully composed of everyday objects, all displayed beautifully for the neat freak. Things Organized Neatly takes the messiness of the everyday world and recasts it in neat and appealing designs. On one page a massive collection of cellphones from the past twenty years is laid out on the floor and photographed from above; on the next, a collection of candy is pleasingly arranged by color. Things Organized Neatly capitalizes on our current obsession with photographing and cataloguing all the objects that we interact with on a daily basis. It has many images of food laid out in visually appealing, often humorous designs, as well as images of GI Joes standing at attention and old Nintendo cartridges arranged in the colors of the rainbow. Whether you’re a design aficionado, an obsessive cleaner and straightener, a social media maven constantly documenting your day, or someone just looking to be swept away for an afternoon in a book full of beautiful images, Things Organized Neatly offers every reader a chance to revel in the beauty of everyday life.
