{"product_id":"76919-thomas-schuette","title":"Thomas Schütte","description":"Düsseldorf-based sculptor, draughtsman, model maker, and occasional architect Thomas Schütte works on all scales, from a single potato chip on a matchbox to larger-than-life, highly polished figurative sculptures. His work transcends all categories, giving form to the incongruities of the world we inhabit. Rooted in Minimalism and Conceptual art, Schütte’s works engage with themes of history, art history, diverse readings, and how art can function in the world. The eponymous monograph offers a comprehensive overview of Thomas Schütte’s work from 1975 to the present, featuring more than 100 sculptures, as well as drawings, prints, and architectural experiments, alongside previously unpublished archival material. Essays by Paulina Pobocha, Jennifer Allen, and André Rottmann provide historical and theoretical insights into the complexity of Schütte’s oeuvre; contributions by Marlene Dumas and Charles Ray reflect on Schütte’s significance through close readings of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Schütte (b. 1954) has been one of Germany’s most renowned artists since the 1980s. After studying at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Gerhard Richter and Fritz Schwegler, he participated repeatedly in both documenta and the SkulpturProjekte in Münster since 1987. In 2005, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale. Since 2016, the Thomas Schütte Foundation has operated the Skulpturenhalle near Neuss, an exhibition venue built according to one of the artist’s models.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49796765483272,"sku":"9783775758512","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775758512_90ec757b-296a-4b99-b4ba-dbf091b2b439.jpg?v=1744287074","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/76919-thomas-schuette","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
