Die erste Ära (The First Era) by Tony Cragg is an etching that evokes a sense of cosmic mystery and the passage of time. The monochromatic composition features a series of elongated, organic forms rising upward, resembling silhouettes of abstracted plant stems or celestial bodies emerging from a textured, almost explosive background. The artwork’s tonal variations, with its rich blacks and faded whites, create depth and suggest movement, as if capturing a primordial scene or an otherworldly landscape. Cragg, known for his exploration of form and materials, here experiments with abstraction to convey the beginning of an unknown journey or era. Measuring 53.5 cm by 41 cm, this limited edition print encourages viewers to interpret its imagery as they ponder themes of creation, evolution, and transformation.

What is new British Sculpture?
New British Sculpture is the name referring to the work produced by a group of sculptors, installation artists, and other creators who exhibited together in London during the 1980s. This group included artists like Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth, and Tony Cragg. Tim Woods helped define this movement by identifying four major themes: the blending of kitsch and pop culture, the use of UK urban waste in a bricolage style, the assignment of new meanings to everyday objects, and a playful approach using wit and humor.
