Artist Thomas Schütte’s Striking Sculptures of Contorted Faces Are the Focus of a Dreamlike Show in Berlin—See It Here
As galleries around the world begin to slowly reopen, we are
focusing on exhibitions at spaces that are now receiving
public visitors. Check out this show at a newly reopened gallery
below.
“Thomas Schütte”
Konrad Fischer Galerie, Berlin
What the gallery says: “The Konrad Fischer
Gallery is pleased to present works by Thomas Schütte. In the
courtyard of the gallery, the two bronze sculptures, Man
with Flag and Man without Face, both over four
meters high, both 2018, await the visitor. In addition to
sculptures in bronze, steel, and glass, the exhibition of the
artist, who lives in Düsseldorf, also presents colored ceramics,
including recently created ‘Women’s Heads,’ the large-format
portrait busts of ‘I-IV,’ ‘Ghost Heads,’ and a group of ‘Garden
Gnomes,’ created in 2016.”
Why it’s worth a look: What better way to
get reacquainted with art than with the free-wheeling, colorful,
tactile, and varied artworks of Thomas Schütte, on display at
Konrad Fischer in Berlin?
Visitors can ease into the gallery by taking a look at the
bronze statues flanking its entrance, and maintain safe distances
while winding past pedestals holding expressive sculptures of faces
and heads that are uniquely Schütte’s. The artist is a pro at
capturing the less-than-ideal expressions of people in distress.
But to see how he creates soft, pock-marked, and pursed shapes
out of hard bronze is delightful.
