Item: Spiral

Tony Cragg

1983

Sculpture, 270 x 107 cm.
Materials: mixed media

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK5127_M5).

Spiral consists of found objects that have been carefully arranged into the shape of a spiral. These everyday objects are arranged from big to small, which creates a sense of upward movement. The objects, which differ widely in terms of their appearance and the materials used, are united in a single shape, thus blurring the boundaries between the individual objects. The work dates from 1983, a period in which Anthony Cragg worked predominately with recycled objects. At the root of this was his conviction that all materials are equally valuable and interesting.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
