Tony Cragg. Please touch!

The exhibition offers a glimpse over the sculptor’s shoulder, giving insight into his creative process and enabling visitors to experience his work with all their senses.

Sculptures are meant to be touched. And yet this “touching” is seldom allowed in museums, usually for reasons of conservation. In collaboration with the English sculptor Tony Cragg (*1949), the Kunstpalast presents an exhibition that focuses on the tactile appeal of his sculptures. It is the first comprehensive presentation in a museum that explicitly invites visitors to touch all the sculptures, to use their hands to trace their lines and feel their contours.

Delving into the material world and revealing its possibilities is a central focus of Tony Cragg’s work. Please touch! vividly demonstrates his fascination with the fusion of material and meaning.
