German artist and 2017 Turner Prize nominee Andrea Büttner (born 1972) examines depictions of beggars in visual culture in this project about poverty, art history, theology and the politics of social benefits. Büttner presents a recent series of woodcuts, plus research conducted at the Warburg Institute, including a visual essay on the iconography of shepherds and kings in nativity scenes.
