The gallery is pleased to present Thomas Schütte's Tribute to Moondog (2024), installed at jardin du Palais-Royal as part of the fair's Public Program.
The bust pays homage to Moondog, a blind musician, performer, and poet known for his eccentric Viking attire and presence in New York’s underground scene. Created using a lost wax casting process, the sculpture’s is a reimagined version of Schütte’s 2004 Hund III — an approach characteristic of the artist’s method of revising his own work. Its presence in Paris is a nod to Moondog’s close connection to the city in his final years.
