Henry Moore Institute Talks - Thomas Schutte

Thomas Schütte, now regarded as one of Germany’s foremost sculptors, had astonishing early success with a group of works which hung on the wall and referenced forms such as tiles, wallpaper and garlands. Fake/Function Thomas Schütte: Early Work brings together for the first time the complete set of these early ‘decorative’ works which use the techniques of theatrical trompe l’oeil to transform interior spaces. The exhibition coincides with the unveiling of Schütte's sculpture for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square taking place in November.

There will be a series of Wednesday evening talks given at the Institute on the subject of art and illusion and contextualising Schutte's work. Admission is free.
