Description: | Sandstone sculpture in 2 parts. "Dancing Columns" was commissioned by the Government Art Collection, on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, for the new British Embassy in Berlin. The sandstone columns are like natural rock formations, smoothed and eroded by the force of the wind. But there is also something comical about them and their precariousness, reminding us of a circus balancing act. Unlike the architectural columns in the new Embassy building, they don't seem capable of supporting anything. "Dancing Columns" is shown here against the backdrop of a wall drawing by David Tremlett, also commissioned by the Government Art Collection. | Rights holder: | © Tony Cragg | Subjects: | abstract column dance | Temporal: | 2000 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Tony Cragg | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
