Since the 1980s Thomas Schutte has created a highly individual, eni gmatic and disturbingly diverse oeuvre beyond the realms of all trends and fashions. This year the internationally renowned artist is being awarded the Ernst Franz Vogelmann Prize for Sculpture. This publication provides a fascinating insight into more tha n twenty years of artistic development. Thomas Schutte has contributed in no small measure to the revival of figural work in contemporary art and has developed sculpture and statuary art as an "anti - sculptor", as it were. This lavishly illustrated volume provides insight into the multi - layered subjects and diverse artistic processes employed in his work, which encompasses not only bronze, wood, ceramic and steel but also unusual materials such as aluminium and Fimo modelling clay. From massively bulky wome n and gnome - like midgets to monumental warriors or constructive thought patterns and architectural models: all creations bear the signature of Thomas Schutt
