Cragg was born in Liverpool; following a period of work as a laboratory technician he first studied art on the foundation course at the Gloucestershire College of Art and Design, Cheltenham and then at the Wimbledon School of Art 1969-1973. During this period he was taught by Roger Ackling, who introduced him to the sculptors Richard Long and Bill Woodrow. He completed his studies at Royal College of Art 1973-1977 where he was a contemporary of Richard Wentworth. He left Britain in 1977 and moved to Wuppertal in Germany, where he has lived and worked since. Cragg also has a studio on the island Tjörn on the Swedish west coast. The Nordic Watercolour Museum at Tjörn had a Tony Cragg exhibition in 2007.
