Schoene Gruesse. A probing insight into the works by the artist that feature in the Olbricht Collection. Schutte is widely considered one of the most important sculptors in Germany. In addition to sculpture, his oeuvre also includes numerous prints, and it is these that form the focus of this exhibition, with over 200 works on paper on display, juxtaposed by several sculptures. The timespan of works featured ranges from the 1980s to the present day. All works on show belong to the collection of Thomas Olbricht, who has been a constant collector of Schutte's art since 1999. He recently presented the artist's 'Ganz Grosse Geister' (Big Spirits, 1998-2004) as a permanent loan to the city of Essen, where it is currently installed behind the philharmonic hall. The prints are an important part of Schutte's oeuvre. According to Ulrich Loock, they should not be viewed as wholly separate from Schutte's work in other media, his drawings, photographs, sculptural and architectural works.
