Thomas Schütte was born in 1954 in Oldenburg, Germany, and lives and works in Düsseldorf. The theme of the artist’s role in society permeates all of his works: the marked physiognomic traits and the expressiveness of his characters, often associated with the grotesque, are a fundamental feature of his sculptures.
