The work belongs to a series of sculptures of the same title, “Versus”. Typical of a disc-shape, the sculpture describes a full circle from the front but transforms into a thin strip when looked at in profile. Tony Cragg combines the abstract form with an accumulation of organic elements, interwoven with profiles of human faces. Versus (2018) is the largest sculpture of the series to date, with the first being the one executed for the Tony Cragg exhibition at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, in 2011.
