Details

Katharina Fritsch is one of the most important artists to have emerged from Europe in the last twenty years. This exhibition will comprise the first major survey of her work in Britain and will include some fifteen major installations. Using modern manufacturing techniques she fabricates people and things that seem to have their origin in mythology, literature or religion. Fritsch's sculptures border on the surreal. At the same time she is interested in the practicalities of craftsmanship and in the traditions of the Arts and Crafts and Bauhaus movements, often producing multiples, which can be bought by ordinary people as ornaments for the home.
