Thomas Schütte at Fondation Beyeler

In this video, we attend the opening of German artist Thomas Schuette's solo exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland). The exhibition is titled "Figures" and has its focus on the human figure and its various forms of expression. On view are sculptures from the past thirty years as well as watercolor portraits and photographs. Major shows of recent years include exhibitions at the Haus der Kunst in Munich (2009), the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid (2010) and the Castello di Rivoli in Turin (2012). In 2005 Schuette was awarded the Golden Lion for his presentation at the Venice Biennale. #thomasschütte #sculpture #fondationbeyeler More videos on contemporary art, design, architecture: http://www.vernissage.tv Connect: http://www.facebook.com/vernissagetv http://twitter.com/vernissagetv Become a Member: http://vernissage.tv/blog/members/ Browse our Archive: http://vernissage.tv/blog/archive/ Find Artists, Designers, Architects: http://vernissage.tv/blog/archive/artists/ VernissageTV on Google Currents: https://www.google.com/producer/editions/CAowmLRi/vernissagetv_art_tv Art TV pioneer Vernissage TV provides you with an authentic insight into the world of contemporary fine arts, design and architecture.
