Tony Cragg's two sculptures, Turbo and Ferryman, made their U.S. debut at Doris C. Freedman Plaza (Fifth Avenue at 60th Street). These sculptures highlighted Cragg's continued focus on organic form and formal sculptural practices. Turbo, the taller of the two, measured six-and-a-half feet tall and was composed of a series of four irregular bronze discs stacked one on top of the other. Like a spinning top, the spherical form created a sense of motion where the work seemingly shifted from left to right, shrinking and expanding from top to bottom. Ferryman, the more organic sculpture, measured four feet high and eight feet long. Unlike the geometric Turbo, Ferryman was developed out of a series of waves and mounds. Ferryman's imposing size amplified and contradicted its lacey bronze frame. These works were first shown together in the courtyard of the Royal Academy
of Arts, London, in 1999. Artist Bio Sponsorship Special thanks to Marian Goodman Gallery. This exhibition is also made possible through the cooperation of the City of New York / Parks & Recreation. Location
