Runner (sculpture)
''Runner'' is a 2017 sculpture by Tony Cragg, installed outside the Istanbul Modern, in Turkey. The 6-meter-tall white artwork is on loan to the museum by the artist on a longterm basis. For ''Runner'', the artist wanted to "show the inner life under a rigid surface, making that energy and motion perceivable". Oya Eczacıbaşı, chair of the museum's board, said: "We are honored to receive this sculpture as a long-term loan ahead of the opening of our museum's new building. I believe that this sculpture by Cragg, an artist whose works attract curiosity and interest from every generation, will become one of the symbols of Istanbul Modern's new building."
