Thomas Schütte
The German sculptor and illustrator Thomas Schütte is one of the most important contemporary artists. In April 2016, the multiple documenta participant opened his sculpture hall in Neuss - the exhibition space serves to present contemporary sculpture and to store his own works.
Schütte's artistic focus also includes watercolours, drawings and models as well as installations such as the Library (2014/2017), an original-scale model presented on the ground floor of the Kunsthaus Bregenz. His sculptures form the most important group of works.
Most of them are based on small wax or clay models. They are cast in large formats - up to six metres high - in bronze or steel. Schütte's series Mann im Wind I-III (2018), which will be shown in Bregenz, or the monumental Bronze Mann mit Fahne (2018), are evidence of his sculptural work.
On the occasion of Thomas Schütte's summer exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, his works will not only be presented at the KUB, but at various locations in public space in Bregenz. For example, a water-steam snorting dog made of patinated bronze on the Karl-Tizian-Platz in front of the Kunsthaus Bregenz.
