Tony Cragg – Receiver I, 2002 – Lithograph

View in a Room

Receiver I by Tony Cragg, created in 2002, is a lithograph print with a limited edition of only 40 copies, measuring 50 x 63 cm. Known for his exploration of organic shapes and forms, Cragg presents a series of overlapping, abstracted circular forms that seem to float within the composition. The monochromatic red hue adds a visceral intensity, while the textured surface of each form suggests the appearance of vessels or pods, as though they are receiving or containing energy. The artwork conveys Cragg's fascination with form and materiality, encouraging viewers to interpret the relationship between the shapes and their symbolic potential. This lithograph captures Cragg's ability to transform simple forms into complex visual narratives through abstraction.

Tony Cragg (UK, 1949) is an influential sculptor known for his innovative use of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and glass. His abstract, dynamic forms explore the relationship between nature, man-made objects, and space. A Turner Prize winner, Cragg’s work has been exhibited globally, cementing his legacy in contemporary sculpture.

I am most interested in the emotional qualities of things.
- Tony Cragg

One of the most prominent sculptors in the world, Tony Cragg is renowned for his liberal use of a wide range of materials throughout his art. Cragg's works can vary from swirling abstractions - as seen in his Point of View piece - to political statements; Britain Seen From the North is one of his earliest outputs and is comprised of various scrap materials - the piece outlines the island of Britain and depicts a figure observing it – this figure is said to represent Cragg viewing his nation as an outsider, a theme that relates to Britain under Thatcher’s reign as Prime Minister. Materials used in Cragg’s sculptures range from wood to Kevlar to plastic – his work is designed with the idea of challenging pre-existing notions regarding certain materials; Early Forms makes use of various different containers, all of which are manipulated and assembled to take on a new form and present the viewer with a different perspective.
