Solo Exhibition
Tony Cragg - Please Touch! Kunstpalast
Sculptures are meant to be touched. And yet this “touching” is seldom allowed in museums, usually for reasons of conservation. In collaboration with Tony Cragg, the Kunstpalast presents an exhibition that focuses on the tactile appeal of his sculptures. This is the first comprehensive exhibition of its kind in a German museum. Visitors will be able to run their hands over the sculptures, feel the contours and get a sense of their surfaces.
Delving into the material world and revealing its possibilities is a central focus of Cragg’s work. Please touch! vividly demonstrates his fascination with the fusion of material and meaning. It 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.
Curator: Felix Krämer, General Director
