This volume presents a comprehensive selection of Thomas Schutte's art, organized around the themes of models, monuments, and memorials. It features work from the late 1970s to the present day by an artist recognized as a significant figure of his generation. Schutte's installations, sculptures, prints, drawings, and watercolors often adopt contradictory forms, creating seemingly alien worlds. However, his focus remains on everyday life, exploring its fundamental natural, cultural, and political constituents through a wide array of materials and colors.
