Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Tony Cragg: Times at DomQuartier Salzburg in Salzburg
DomQuartier Salzburg presents an exhibition of contemporary sculpture by British artist Tony Cragg, specially conceived for the historic state-rooms of the Salzburg Residenz. The works, ranging from delicate glass pieces to massive stone sculptures, create a unique dialogue with the palace's traditional architecture and decor.
Tony Cragg: Times marks the first exhibition of contemporary sculpture held within the state-rooms of the Salzburg Residenz. British artist and Turner Prize-winner Tony Cragg created these works specifically to interact with the magnificent, historic environment of the former archiepiscopal palace complex. By juxtaposing his modern, organic forms against the traditional symmetry of the rooms—echoing motifs such as the curved legs of period furniture—Cragg reveals his ongoing exploration of materiality, structure, and formal language. The exhibition features a wide array of sculptures, ranging from intricate glass works to heavy, organic stone formations, each reflecting the artist's meticulous craftsmanship and raw creative energy. Through these pieces, Cragg invites visitors to perceive the historic rooms in a new light, creating a dynamic intervention that challenges the equilibrium of the prestigious setting. The show is accompanied by a richly illustrated 36-page brochure authored by Dr. Antonia Hoerschelmann.
The exhibition is located in the state-rooms of the DomQuartier. Visitors can find further details on tickets and museum admission on the official website, and an exhibition brochure is available for purchase in the museum shop or online shop for €9.90. A virtual tour of the exhibition is also available for those unable to visit in person.
