英国艺术家托尼·克拉格已经崛起，成为当今国际上一位重要的雕塑家。从一开始，他的创作就从大自然中找到了灵感，并将其作为范式。他用金属、大理石、木头和玻璃制作的大尺寸雕塑具有源于自然的有机形状。

他所用的材料是每件雕塑表达方式的组成部分。每件作品都是通过一个耗时的过程发展起来，在这个过程中，作品被形成，材料和表面被处理。因此，克拉格的雕塑实际上是在空间中 “生长”，常常通过其形状或运动唤起对无尽生长结构的想象。

本书为配合在黑森州达姆施塔特博物馆(Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt)举办的展览而出版，深入介绍了克拉格的最新作品，其中许多作品是首次面世。

书中还展示了他非凡的化石和矿物收藏标本，它们是其许多作品的灵感来源。本书收录了50张彩色插图，聚焦了一位重要雕塑家的作品，它们继续给人带来惊喜和惊奇。

British artist Tony Cragg has risen to become one of the most important international sculptors of the present day. From the beginning his creative work has found inspiration in nature as a model. His large-format sculptures made from metal, marble, wood, and glass are derived from organic natural shapes. The materials used are integral to each sculpture’s means of expression. Each piece is developed through a time-consuming process, during which the work is formed and the material and surface are treated. As a result, Cragg’s sculptures literally “grow” into space, often evoking through their shape or movement endlessly growing structures.

 

Created to accompany an exhibition at the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, this book provides an in-depth look at Cragg’s newest works, many seen for the first time. It also showcases specimens from his remarkable personal collection of fossils and minerals that are the inspiration for many of his works. Illustrated with fifty color plates, Tony Cragg: Unnatural Selection celebrates the work of a significant sculptor whose work continues to surprise and amaze.
