The Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik in Croatia will host 'Tony Cragg: Skulptura' from 22 July to 5 October 2025, marking the first-ever presentation of British sculptor Tony Cragg's work to a Croatian audience. Curated by Jelena Tamindžija Donnart and supported by German curator Detmar Westhoff, the exhibition features around 30 sculptures, drawings, and preparatory sketches spanning Cragg's decades-long career, including iconic early works from 1985 and highlights from his 'Early Forms' series. The show occupies the Banac Palace's first two floors, terraces, and garden, offering an indoor-outdoor experience.
This retrospective matters because it introduces a major figure in contemporary sculpture to a new geographic audience while showcasing the evolution of Cragg's practice, from large-scale installations and floor mosaics to monumental bronze, steel, and fiberglass works that transform everyday objects. The exhibition underscores the Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik's role in bringing international contemporary art to the region and highlights the enduring relevance of Cragg's exploration of the boundary between natural and manmade forms.
