Tony Cragg at Goodwood is more than just a book presenting finished pieces of sculpture. It is a book about the whole process involved in creating not only the pieces themselves, but the largest exhibition of Tony Cragg's outdoor sculptures in Britain to date.
From conception through drawings to creation of the pieces in Cragg's studios in Wuppertal Germany, to the sculptures arriving and being installed at the Goodwood Estate. The concept not only reveals the process behind how the artist works, but how the Cass Sculpture Foundation produced one of the largest sculpture projects ever realised with a British artist. Photographer Leon Chew was commissioned to record all aspects of the project which culminates in 24 spectacular, full-spread photographs of the completed pieces situated in and around a new 5 acre site.
The 'flush-cut' hardback book, including an essay written by Jon Wood from The Henry Moore Institute, contains coloured paper stocks, high gloss varnished paper contrasted with thick, uncoated 'sketchbook' paper over 152 pages.
