As we walked into the Underground Gallery the first thing we were told was ‘do not touch’, and it was to be repeated in nearly every room. All I wanted to do though was touch as Tony Cragg’s rare category of objects was simply crying out to be stroked!itching to touch!

I am trying to keep this short and sweet for Debbie and her Six Word Saturday, so should you wish to discover more about Tony Cragg and A Rare Category of Objects in the Underground Gallery do come back tomorrow or take a look at some of the ones I shared earlier this week – the dice and the ones outside!

  2. They look better in colour I think. And yes, very tactile. What I like about Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth sculptures is that you are encouraged to touch them.

    1. Much better in colour I agree . . . . I wasn’t sure if it was an artist request or YSP, I suspect the latter as I noticed they had roped off lots outside too. Maybe too many visitors these days resulting in every little stroke having an impact . . huge shame though as sculpture in my view is as much about touch as it is seeing.

      1. The Family of Man (BH) was roped off, but I think that was mainly because the grass around them was getting badly worn.
