- Summary
- The Castello di Rivoli exhibition examines the Frauen series, extraordinary portrayals of women whose bodies are submitted to spatial and organic deformations. What emerges forcefully from this group of works is Schütte's ability to effect a true formal and imaginative revolution, not only with regard to the noble tradition of Western figurative sculpture but also to that of his own œuvre. The bronze and aluminium Frauen derive directly from some ceramic models chosen from the 120 different rough sketches realised between 1997 and 1999. For the first time ever, the 18 Frauen are presented together in the impressive spaces of the Manica Lunga, the former paintings gallery of the Savoys in the 17th century, measuring 6 metres by 146. The Frauen are accompanied by the complete series of their ceramic models and the 100 watercolours from the artist's private collection. At the Castello di Rivoli, the artist also presents two new bronze sculptures four metres high, called United Enemies, which greet the visitor as he approaches the entrance to the 18th-century castle.--www.nmnm.mc.
