THOMAS SCHÜTTE : NEW WORKS

28 Sep-15 Nov 2012

Overview

Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new drawings and sculptural works by Thomas Schütte. Schütte is one of the most important artists working today - his practice exploits transitions in scale and materials to great effect moving freely from figuration to abstraction. The artist reassesses many of the traditions of art, presenting emotionally charged works that reflect upon the human condition. Schütte's recent solo exhibitions include presentations at the NMNM, Monaco (2012), Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2012), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2010) and Haus der Kunst, Munich (2009). Schütte has received numerous awards and prizes, including the Düsseldorf Prize in 2010 and the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2005. A solo exhibition of Thomas Schütte's work can also be seen at the Serpentine Gallery, London from 25 September - 18 November 2012.
