I’m Alive by Tony Cragg – 2004 Stainless Steel

Tony Cragg was born in liverpool in 1949. He attended Gloucestershire College of Art and Design, Cheltenham College, and the Royal College of Art, London (1973-77). Cragg has lived and worked in Wuppertal, Germany, since 1977.

I’m Alive exudes movement and vitality and is the perfect expression of its title. It is simple, serpentine and, despite its highly wrought form and reflective surface, it is very natural.  I also love it’s placement, the lawn, just emphasizes all that is right with this piece.
