Zeitgenössische Kunst – Schütte 2.06.04. - Vollständige Reihe des Portfolios "Silly Lillies" ohne Umschlag und ohne Originalbox. - Je eines von 50 Exemplaren. - Gedruckt bei Felix Bauer, Köln. Hrsg. v. Niels Dietrich, Köln. - Die Graphikfolge "Silly Lillies" entsteht knapp zehn Jahre nachdem sich Thomas Schütte erstmals der Drucktechnik der Lithographie zuwendet. In filigraner Präzision werden hier die Lebenszyklen von Lilien dargestellt, Schnittblumen, deren Stadien der Künstler auch privat studiert. Nur einige Monate vor Entstehung der Mappe fertigt der deutsche Künstler erstmalig Blumenzeichnungen an. Mit dem Fokus auf die ikonographisch bedeutende Symbolik der Lilie und der ergänzenden Addition von Schriftzügen wie "tot", "gut" und "blöde Blume", verbindet Schütte hier ein Vanitasmotiv mit selbstironischer Leichtigkeit.

Contemporary Art – Each colour lithograph on Japanese handmade paper. Each signed, dated, numbered and with artist's stamp. Each mounted on a backing in spots. - Partially with barely noticeable brown spots, slightly bumped corners and minimal crease marks, some slight yellowing. Overall very good. Splendid, chalky and Colour intensive impressions with margins, some with deckle edge. - Complete set of the 'Silly Lillies' portfolio without slipcase and without original box. - Each one of 50 copies. - Printed by Felix Bauer, Cologne. Edited by Niels Dietrich, Cologne. - The print series "Silly Lillies" was created just under ten years after Thomas Schütte first turned his attention to the printing technique of lithography. The life cycles of lilies are depicted here with delicate precision, cut flowers whose stages the artist also studied in private. Just a few months before creating the portfolio, the German artist produced his first flower drawings. By focusing on the iconographically significant symbolism of the lily and adding inscriptions such as 'dead', 'good' and 'stupid flower', Schütte combines a vanitas motif with self-deprecating lightness.
