City guide: Shanghai
Cragg's art
Tony Cragg came to prominence in the late 1970s for his works composed of brightly colored plastic objects. Focusing mainly on his art from the past 15 years, this exhibition features around 50 major sculptures and more than 100 drawings. This exhibition was first staged in the summer of 2011 at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. Although Cragg has shown individual works in China, this is the first opportunity for a Chinese audience to explore his art in depth.

Windows project
