Tony Cragg. New Stones – Newton’s Tones, 1978. Cragg made this sculpture in an era of growing ecological concern, where the profusion of plastic detritus discarded in the environment was one sign of the more general impact of humans on the planet. The plastic objects and fragments of this sculpture were found and collected by the artist along the river Rhine in Germany, near his home. They were later sorted and arranged on the floor in the approximate sequence of colours in the spectrum of white light, as identified by Sir Isaac Newton, and appear dematerialised like light or a rainbow.
