Recognized as one of the most important German artists of his generation, Thomas Schütte has developed a wide-ranging practice spanning sculpture, architecture, drawing, installation and printmaking. While best known for his sculptural work, printmaking plays a central role in his art. His etchings demonstrate technical experimentation and a fluid interplay between print, drawing and painterly mark-making. For the series Sophie, Schütte created 25 etchings conceived as a character study of a single woman. Each print shows her dressed differently and in different emotional states, so that the portraits no longer appear to be of a single person.
