British sculptor Tony Cragg brilliantly transforms banal found materials and household objects into complex arrangements of visually stimulating fragmentation and juxtaposition. The present lot, Leaf, 1981, demonstrates one of Cragg’s best known bodies of work, in which he collects discarded plastic remnants and arranges them by color in order to form larger shapes or patterns. In the present lot, Cragg’s found materials come together to form a green leaf, perhaps a metaphor for recycling and eliminating waste. By artistically presenting an accumulation of artificial and commercial items from consumer culture, Cragg allows for Leaf to transform discarded scraps of consumerism into an aesthetically pleasing art work of natural earthen greenery.
