Tony Cragg. Infinite forme e bellissime, Rome
9 November 2024 - 4 May 2025
Museo Nazionale Romano presents Tony Cragg: Infinite forme e bellissime, curated by Sergio Risaliti and Stéphane Verger, at the Baths of Diocletian. Since the 1970s, Cragg has been recognized for his innovative exploration of forms, materials, and techniques. The exhibition is organized by BAM- Eventi d´Arte in progettazione with Municipio Roma Centro.
The exhibition brings to the rooms full of history of the Baths of Diocletian—with its imposing halls, covered by very large vaults—eighteen sculptures, of medium and large size, made in the last two decades in bronze, wood, travertine, fiberglass and steel: seductive, disturbing, mysterious shapes—which now refer to the mineral and plant world, now to geology and biology, evoking the waves of the sea, the geometric structures of a plant or a shell—which now enter into dialogue with the archaeological spaces of the monumental complex.
