The event, held on the occasion of the 2024 Biennale Arte, has seen 27 glass sculptures and 8 drawings by the English artist interacting with Scarpa's architecture.
One of the pieces, Arabesque - made of solid, blown black glass - was specifically designed by Cragg as a tribute to the Venetian architect.
The catalogue includes essays by the curators and a detailed photographic section with all the exhibited artworks.
'Sculpture is only a method of dealing with the big world - It's only a method of looking for new forms and of formulating questions about the world we live in, about reality.' Tony Cragg
