The 'Thomas Schütte. Genealogies' exhibition at Punta della Dogana in Venice marks the artist's first major show in Italy, running from April 6 to November 23, 2025. Curated by Camille Morineau and Jean-Marie Gallais, the exhibition features 50 sculptures and 150 previously unexhibited drawings that delve into themes of human condition. The striking bronze sculptures, particularly from the 'Mann im Wind' series, portray caricatured figures grappling with life's emotional weight. The exhibition lacks chronological order, focusing instead on tracing the evolution of Schütte's artistic repertoire and its emotive motifs.
