Tony Cragg: Riot

New York, 14 March – 15 April 2023

Tony Cragg: Riot artwork

Lisson Gallery is honored to present the seminal 1987 work, Riot, by British sculptor, Tony Cragg. Comprising found, discarded plastic objects, this large-scale wall relief, is readable as a response to the political and social turbulence of the 1980s in Britain and is considered as one of his most acclaimed works. Despite its initial historic specificity, the work is simultaneously comprehensible as a current reflection of our own fraught context. Alongside this work are two further compositions – Policeman (1981) and Leaf (1981) – that similarly address this unrest as well as our paradoxical relationship with nature.
