Franz West

(1947 – 2012)

Austria – Contemporary Art – Franz West

Vita:

Franz West began to deal with art at the age of 23 in order to continue working artistically. After studying himself and realizing that he would like to continue his education in this area, he began to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Soon he was able to look forward to a large number of solo and group exhibitions around the world. The most formative events during his artistic career include the exhibitions in the New York Museum of Modern Art and those in the Vienna Museum of Applied Arts. Franz West was one of Austria’s most important contemporary artists and is still the only one to be awarded a Golden Lion by the Venice Art Biennale. In addition to this honor for his work, he received a large number of other awards.

Work:

Franz West artistic genius is characterized by the so-called „fitting pieces“. Most of these were represented by transportable, indefinable forms made of plaster of paris, paper mache, aluminum or metal. The so-called “fitting pieces” could be placed on the body as prostheses or supports. With the help of these sculptures he wanted to depict neuroses, among other things. He himself claimed that if you could see neuroses that they would look exactly like his sculptures. In his later work Franz West concentrated on the creation of seating furniture of all kinds. The chairs and sofas that he welded together aroused particular interest
