12 large outdoor sculptures by Anthony Cragg on the North-East and South-East plazas of the BNF. The range of sculptures (1999 and 2002) thought and created for a public space, testifies of the innovative, creative energy of the artist, who is as open to the sciences as he is to the contemporary world of art.
At the Bibliothèque Nationale de France : 12 Large Outdoor Sculptures
The Chantal Crousel Gallery will present 12 large outdoor sculptures by
Anthony Cragg on the North-East and South-East plazas of the BNF (quai
François Mauriac, Paris 75013).
The range of sculptures (1999 and 2002) thought and created for a public
space, testifies of the innovative, creative energy of the artist, who is as
open to the sciences as he is to the contemporary world of art. The
materials declined here are : kevlar, carbone/kevlar, stainless steel,
plaster, stone, andbronze.
Their aerodynamic form and their scale will offer an appropriate and
meaningful link between the scale of the human body and the static
monumentality of the architectural site.
