In collaboration with the English sculptor Tony Cragg (*1949), 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 Tony 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.
