Rembrandt Bugatti (18841916) was one of the most remarkable and artistically independent sculptors of the first decade of the 20th century. In his short life, before committing suicide at the age of 31, he produced more than 300 works, an oeuvre which is unparalleled for descriptive intensity and diversity of form and subject. Although he is represented in many large museums around the world, in particular in France, Great Britain and the USA, Rembrandt Bugatti is less well known to the German public. This exhibition at the Alte Nationalgalerie will be the first solo show of his work in Germany, offering the opportunity for a spectacular rediscovery of this artist who died young and has remained unnoticed in most surveys published on the art of around 1900.
