Katharina Schwarz-Schütte (born 1959) was born in Bad Reichenhall in 1959. After studying art history in Bonn, she initially entered the art trade: her time at Christie’s and at the Hans Mayer Gallery in Düsseldorf shaped her perspective on art and the art market. She learnt to paint under Wolfgang Eckhard, a master student of K. O. Götz.
For around ten years, her artistic interest has centred on light and the way it refracts on shiny materials. To this end, she constructs objects specifically for this purpose, wraps them in reflective aluminium foil and arranges them against coloured backdrops, before photographing them. These photographs serve as a starting point for images in which colour, reflection and space combine to form a new, painterly, condensed reality.
