Thomas Schuette

Art Brokerage: Thomas Schuette German Artist: b.1954. Thomas Schutte makes sculptures that range from giant cherries to miniature castles, manipulating size and materials like a master juggler His bizarre worlds of shifting scale create a universe replete with food and shelter yet full of false promise: bronze potatoes; a museum that incinerates art; or his very own 'audience' of metal-clad robots. The only major English language monograph on one of Germany's most important contemporary sculptors. Schütte's multidisciplinary work ranges widely, from early architectural installations to small-scale modeled figures and proposals for monuments, from extensive series of watercolors, to banners, flags, and photographs.
