This major retrospective volume on the
celebrated contemporary German artist is a
kaleidoscopic sampling of Thomas Schütte s
exploration of the perversity and pleasure of
modern life. Organized around the themes of models, monuments, and
memorials key subjects in Schütte s art this volume offers a
comprehensive selection of work from the late 1970s to today
by an artist considered a key figure of his generation. Schütte s
installations, sculptures, prints, drawings, and watercolors
often take contradictory forms, and his art may seem to depict
alien worlds. Yet his focus is everyday life, whose basic
constituents natural, cultural, political he revises, using a
broad range of materials and colors, while asking questions
about the place of art in society. Schütte has long engaged
with many of the traditional genres of sculpture the reclining
female figure and the commemorative portrait bust, for
example yet the results are utterly unconventional. A deeply
contrarian spirit informs his approach, resulting in a
transformation of standard and formulaic modes into singular
statements that reflect on history, politics, social space, and
collective experience. Together the works in this book
comprise an impressive career marked by constant change
and innovation.
